It will work, but if you buy Loctite 5900 or 5910, you'll never look at Hyloamr again, and be able to use it on a lot more things, glass wood plastic fibreglass carbon ceramic metal bricks etc etc.

Yes will do the job perfectly, but you will have a fight on your hands if you ever want to take it out again!!
I have bookshelf supports held on with this stuff, with 3 model cars 1/10 lecky ones plus controllers on it plus spares etc, radio papers other odds and sods!!

I used this stuff and it worked a treat. You can buy it at any A1 motor store. http://www.motoressentials.co.uk/epa...oducts/rtv-red

If you use the quick setting one(5910) then about 10 minutes, the other around 1 hour(5900).
There is a reason why this stuff is expensive, a tube of around 300ml is somewhere in the region of £18-£22.
