• Circuit Building - Glue Questions

So this isn't a pic of my projects, but it's the same concept. [img]http://www.fakeplasticrock.com/wp-content/uploads/guitar-neck-circuit-board-removed.jpg[/img] I stole a few circuit boards from children's toys in order to modify them. I would like to know what kind of glue to use in order to glue rubber buttons (Like the grey ones in the picture) to the circuit board (very similar to the one shown in the picture). Is this not recommended? Would aquarium grade silicon work? [editline]9th December 2013[/editline] I was told I could use electronics grade silicon, but I'm looking for a glue that is easier to find.

Most silicon based glues *should* be fine.
I have aquarium grade silicon. Do you think that would work? [editline]9th December 2013[/editline] I want something that will last for a while. Hot glue seems too fragile.
[QUOTE=Atta|To|End;43125592]I have aquarium grade silicon. Do you think that would work?[/QUOTE] Honestly cant say! You can make it electrically conductive or insulative. I think generally (unless its specifically conductive) though it is insulative because it is more effort to make it conductive.
