Mark, Mouser Electronics carries a clear, pourable epoxy in a 350 ml kit.
If you follow the directions it mixes up into a product with a viscosity of
maple syrup (to give you a point of reference with which you are familiar
;-) ). You can dismount the badge and level it and pour it in and 6 - 8 hours
later it is ready to go.
A bit of warning: it isn't perfectly clear, it has a slight amber color to
it but in the thickness you will use it will most likely not be noticeable.

Let us know if you do. We'll send you all of ours that need fixing as
well.
