A glue that sets like rubber ? Suitable for LED's.

I'm replacing the coloured LED's on a coolermaster megaflow 200mm fan, the LED's are set in a type of bonding agent that's like rubber, it's really easy to peel off but it keeps the LED's securely in place, obviously to be non conductive.

Any ideas what they used ?

Apparently from my research the stuff that smells like vinegar is corrosive hence why i didn't want to try normal sealant.

Stixall builders adhesive might work. I've seen similar stuff used to stick in the ihs on delidded cpu's.

That sounds like it may work, this kind of thing ? Think the link maybe ok as OCUK don't sell anything like this

I'll probably go the glue gun option as it seems a popular suggestion, i'm sure it will come in handy for other things in the future. Was thinking of this one

Hot glue from a glue gun dries solid... it sure isnt supple / rubbery

Cheers, the glue gun isn't an option then, it's just to hold the LED's rather than glue them so you can change them at a later date if you want.

Found this on amazon, something along the lines of that would be ideal i think
