Two thoughts re: cyanoacrylate glues. 1. There are two CA standards, waterproof (type 1) and water-resistant (type 2).  If the ceramic vessel will contain water, type 2 glues might deteriorate over time.  In that case, a type 1 would be better.  Krazy is type 2.  Gorilla and Loctite CA glues are among the type 1.  2. Regular CA glue may bond well with both materials, but it is brittle and the glue can be easily sheared.  Since it is an external rubber plug, it would be better to use one of the rubberized CA glues that remain somewhat flexible, [cont'd)

like [Loctite Ultra Gel](https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-1906107-Super-3-0-03-Squeeze/dp/B01FIL87AK).  Another adhesive that would be good is E6000.

If you can toss an image (or drawing) out here, the answers are likely to be more applicable to your circumstances. A gasket often implies two flat surfaces compressed by mechanical means. This is not universal, as O-rings are also used between two flat surfaces or between a flat surface and a curved surface or a recess in a surface.

Fred_dot_u has a good point, an image, or even diagram/drawing would be helpful with answering the question. If it is O-ring, or different type of gasket.

# Best adhesive to use for rubber gaskets inside ceramic column?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-12-13)

I'm working with a ceramic column and I'm trying to connect a soft rubber gasket to it, but I need an adhesive to hold the rubber gasket inside the columns.

I need advice on which adhesive to use when trying to adhere a soft rubber gasket to the inside of a ceramic column. I was told I should use gorilla glue, but I'm not sure if that is my best option?
