[Boatanchors] Need glue recommendation for ceramic switch

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Phil,

Try E6000.  Comes in a tube like common silicone sealant but is an adhesive, 
not a sealant.  Available in black, white and clear.  I've always bought mine 
from Ace Electronics over on this side of town but I'm sure most 
industrial/commercial electronics places would have it.  FYI, storage in a refrigerator 
will increase shelf life.
