That stuff doesn't seem like it would hold anything.


No, Contact Cement. Its used to glue formica to countertops but you
can buy a two ounce bottle with a brush a lot of places.


Are there any non-exotic contact cements that aren't rubber based?


I have had to re-attach the small snap fit flapper doors that cover the
connectors on IBM Thinkpad 600E (and similar) notebook computers. I
have used the glue called GORILLA GLUE that I purchased at a local
hardware store. This stuff works great BUT IT MUST BE CLAMPED or
WEIGHTED during the 3 to 4 hour drying process. (Make sure to clean off
all old glue and oils first).
