Replaced focus barrel - what glue for the focus scale?

Dropped my Canon 50mm 1.4.

Just repaired it with a replacement focus barrel/focus tube from eBay.

It didn't come with a focus scale (is that the right term?) on it. e.g.., what you see in the little window on your lens with the distance measurements, etc.

So I guess I have to cannibalize the focus scale off the old barrel and glue it onto the new one.

What type of glue should I use for this? Any repair technicians here? or anyone else done this?

I think they sit on double-sided tape.
