adhesive recommendation for re-assembly

i'm looking for an adhesive recommendation to re-assemble a repaired Gotcha Evolve. when i (very carefully) took it apart there was a bead of glue around the inner case perimeter (reminded me a lot of hot glue-gun glue). it was very tacky but very flexible. adhesion was good as it took a while to pry it off the base side.
i'd like to find something that
A) does a good job of holding the top and bottom together

B) would still enable the separation of top and bottom (using the same technique of a thin blade or spudger to pry them apart without breaking them, in case i need to do further repairs

C) keep it's form when dispensed, unlike liquid glue that would just flow everywhere (self-leveling i think is the correct term). if i put a seam of it down, i want it to hold that shape until i press the two pieces together.

any thoughts?

Answer this question I have this problem too

how is the viscosity? does it free flow (self-leveling)? or does it hold it's shape once out of the dispenser?

@beekerc it will level but not run. Stays where you put it. Good stuff. Think you can buy a 10ml tube if you don't need much.

@strongbow

will look into it. E6000 definitely levels and runs.

@beekerc T7000 is clear and T8000 is black. Also look at B7000 which is thicker.

will do. thanks

Hi @beekerc

Try using Tesa 61395 Tape.

It works well on phones, so perhaps it is also suitable for your device.

I've heard about Tesa Tape, but have not tried it as i too have been using the "red tape" which is good for holding things in place, but not really great for a "holding things together" application. i may give this a shot, i just hope it's thick enough. the bead/seam that was present after i had separated the top an bottom halves was a bead/seam of adhesive like had come out of a hot glue gun, if i had to guess at least 3/4 to 1mm i diameter.

Tesa tape or red tape may not be thick enough, although i could double stack. just don't know if the tesa tape adhesion will be strong enough.

but i'll look into it.

thanks

I've used it on a few phone display replacements I've done (for family, I'm not a professional) and there have been no comebacks yet ;-)
