Look at E6000 which is a thinner self leveling silicone craft glue intended to be used as a contact glue (apply, touch parts, pull apart, hold 20-30 seconds, touch and it won't move) The various Goop glues are the same stuff from the same company but each is modified in some way - Marine has increased UV protection and stands up more, Craft is somewhat less flowing than E6000. I will caution you that E6000 will stink up the whole house real quickly and should be used with ventilation while the Goop versions I have used are not quite as strong smelling. All these glues can also be used like 100% Silicone adhesive - apply, put parts together, wait until set - overnight - but they need support with tape or props to keep from sliding. Practice the contact method. Not Gorilla Glue, which requires clamping and foams up.
