Hi Ed,

That sounds better than the rubber cement, which is a contact cement, if
it will stick to silicone.  I'll stop by Home Depot tomorrow and see
if I can find it.

Thanks,

Bob, I'll have to check when I go out to my hangar.  I do recall it is made by 3M and specifically for gluing rubber window sealing material to a frame. Its a thick orange/yellow glue that sticks like the devil and dries quickly. I use it to glue the rubber seal to my fiberglass plenum and its worked for over 3 years with no problem.
