Hi,

I have a replacement vial for an old Rabone steel spirit level. Can
any one recommend a good compound for fixing/levelling it?

Thanks

In the 'old days' on the building sites we used to use ordinary plaster
to bed the vials in.

Find a perfectly level surface, using another level and, asssuming you
have dug the old vial out and cleaned around, bed the new one in using
a dob of plaster each end and press down either end until the bubble
show level.

If you mess up dig it out and repeat.
