x2 on Shoe Goo. It doesn't dissolve the paint and can be carefully removed if needed.

I have the Nukizer body and i used Shoegoo, i also used shoegoo to seal the bulb around the light housing. If you wet your fingers and the shoegoo you can mold it easily without it being too sticky and it will be very easy to work with, and it will be totally dry from one day to the other

It's like silicone, but better adhesive properties. Just need to make sure the paint is fully cured or the shoogoo eat it.

I love shoegoo. It literally solves all rc attachment problems just as good as zipties. I've used it to waterproof stuff in a pinch too.

Yes, I now prefer it's thinner (runnier) version called E6000, doesn't get dried out in tube as fast and easier to put really thin coat when you just need tiny bit.
