I agree that bump -ons by them selves do not stick very well but I just put a dab of glue on the back of them and I find they are much more robust. I use a normal tube of glue of some kind, possibly Bostick, but I guess even superglue could be used.
The other thing I have used which seems even more robust is a nail varnish typed blobber which I think I got from the RNIB. You need sighted help to squeeze this out on a particular target and let it set fast. I have never personally known this stuff come off once applied.

I don't find the bump-ons stay very well and so I'd be loath just to have those as guidance, but thanks for your comments.Carol P ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Hazel Darvell <mailto:witch.hazel66@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Monday, January 12, 2015 9:02 AM *Subject:* [access-uk] Re: Talking Microwaves All, Carol when our not even 3 years old Cobolt microwave went wrong we decided not to spend out that amount of money so we went to one of our independant shops and bought one of their own named brand. Smaller by far with 2 dials. One for the levels such as defrost, medium, high, other is the timer which we got someone to put bumps on. The levels dial is click settings. And all for the price of £59.

We are considering looking for a replacement elsewhere and not necessarily a speaking model. Anyone out there found anything they're using with beeps, or just the old dialer that you have to time individually?

Can anyone advise is Cobalt the best supplier or do we in the UK have anyone else that supplies the same product at a more reasonable price?
