Still in France... Enjoying life...

I had a Dolce & Gabbana DW0191 in last week, that another person had kindly snapped the glass in half whilst pressing on the back during a battery change. the reason was the glass is curved. Up until this one all the curved glass I've done have been glued in so I haven't needed to press them, but this one I had to press it in. So I thought about it through the day & remembered my sons fascination with Polymorph so when I got home on Saturday asked him if he still had any. Today I made my press adaptor & it worked a treat! so I thought I'd show you it! As you can see the glass is curved. First thing I did, more as a precaution was covered the watch in cling film, just in case the polymorph wouldn't come off! Next I mixed the poly in a cup of boiling water, squeezed it into a blob & worked it onto the old glass. Then I pressed it to form the shape. (note I pushed a nail into the side inline with the crown, so I could line it up correctly when I fitted the new glass) once the Polymorph had hardened I run a grinder round the outside, so I could see the glass edge when I finally came to fitting the new one. Press complete, ready to replace the broken crystal. Pressing, a perfect fit! Job done! Q; This worked for me ideally, but whats the "correct" way?
