Key fob battery change

[Accordial]

So I undid the screw using a soldering iron as per instructions. What glue should I use to re-close it?

Thanks

Same here. I found the screw was tight enough when refitted without any additional threadlocking compound.

A soldering iron ?

On the fobs I have for the Accord the screw stops the blade from moving about, the clasp mechanism at the keyring end is what keeps it all together.

The tiny screw (on a fixed, non-flipping) key is usually threadlocked in place. A brief warm with a soldering iron is enough to soften the threadlock to the point where the screw can be undone without obliterating the head. Once it has been undone a time or two it doesn't need to be heated again, but nor does the threadlock need to be replaced.
