Default Glue Suggestions to attach rubber feet to a laptop.

The little rubber feet on the bottom of my Presario v2000 have come off and
I've lost them so I cut some new ones out of some rubber. I've temporally
attached them with double sided tape but this will not hold them for long
because of their size (4mm x 12mm) and lateral stress from pushing the
laptop around on a table.

What do you guys think the best glue would be to use for this? I've thought
about using cyanoacrylate glue but that seems like it might be a bad choice.
Especially if it doesn't bond well you can't ever get that junk off.


"Goop" is very good for this sort of thing. Unlike "super glue" or
regular contact cement, Goop takes a while to dry so you aren't hosed if
you make a mistake. It can also be peeled off later kinda like rubber
cement, but it's much, much stronger. You can usually find it at bigger
hardware or drugstores:
