    Superglue.

    Wipe the area with rubbing alcohol. Apply glue. press hard. Let it set overnight in a dry place.

        Regular supermarket superglue.

        Locktite is not a superglue. It's a thread locker.

                I use stuff called permatex gasket sealant. I've never lost a foamie. It takes a day for the stuff to dry but when it does it remains flexible, unlike super glue. SG tends to be brittle when it dries and can crack apart under the constant hammering.

                  I've used Loctite 404 Instant Adhesive for rubber and metal parts and haven't lost a foamie using that stuff yet.



                  I've since run out and now I'm using Insta-Cure 2000 Extra Strength, which is basically used for bonding rubber tires for RC cars. Haven't lost a foamie using that stuff yet.

                    Yeah the 404 is great stuff, $29 bucks a bottel in Canada.
