As you probably know the 8002s adhesive tends to dry out causing the lid and top silver cover to loosen.
I did one of mine with some 3M tape but on this next one I'm thinking silicon might be better. The tape is almost too thick where its hard to get the metal flush with the wood trim.
Silicon sort of thick like caulk but can be pressed to very thin. I figure is its strong enough to hold fish tanks together its probably fine for these parts.
Am I missing something here? Anyone try this or can think of a reason not to use it?
