You could use a silcone based caulk/adveshive, but exterior ';Liquid Nails'; (any decent brand name) will do and last probably as long as the camper will, plus if you have to do any paint touch up the LN allows that.
Rev. StevenI have a popup camper. The rubber seal around the top needs to be reattached. What's the best adhesive to use?
silicon will work; or really good super glue. But your local parts store should have a specialized glue that will hold longer. But whatever you use, be sure and clean the seal area very good with rubbing alcohol before applying any adheasive.
3M weatherstrip adhesive is made just for that particulaer application. it's in a black tube at your local auto parts store. a thin coat on the mounting surface and a thin coat on the rubber---worth the extra few pennies
ELMERS GLUE OR BOND-OOOOOOOOO
How about 3M Weatherstrip adhesive. Last for years and works perfectly. Liquid Nails? NO WAY! Elmer' Glue? Nope!
Should be at your local auto parts store!
Use rubber cement. Put a thin coat on the seal and on the mating surface on the camper top. Let it dry! Once dry (about 15 minutes), carefully press the seal back in place.
Don't use Elmer's Glue as it won't stick! The silicone compounds might work but take a long time to cure. Liquid Nails is for mounting panelling or drywall and dries fairly hard and may damage the rubber.
