Zeagle slim gauge face popped off.

[warscout2]

I was helping with a discover scuba and rusty diver the other day and my gauge console starting leaking air. I figured it was just the high pressure spool but when I removed the gauge from the zeagle slim console the face was popped out. Is there any way to reattach the lens or do I have to replace the gauge?

If the face popped out, most likely something behind the face is leaking and merely replacing the face won't work, so yes the gauge is trashed.

However if you want to seal the face on again, I've found heating the gauge with a hair dryer then as soon as you get the face on, setting it in the freezer underneath a bag of frozen peas helps the face stay on. Otherwise, as you push it down, it creates a positive pressure and it pops right back off.

Wow the gauge has about 40 dives on it. Are the faces glued on? I might have to switch to a old school brass and glass gauge.
