Superglue should work, and you will only want a 'dab' of it. Superglue doesn't
'bond' most materials and it definitely isn't permanent like claimed. It was
developed during the Korean or Vietnam war as a battlefield surgical aid-it
WILL instantaneosly bond skin together for an instant bandaid and is used in
surgery.
To 'glue' other materials together it forms an 'adhesive' of sorts by capillary
action-2 smooth surfaces squeezed together will 'bond' with a smooth 'liquid'
between them-like a suction cup-and that drives the oxygen out of the superglue
and it dries instantly. But anytime you want-just 'twist' or pop and it pulls
apart. You can easily 'pick off' the dried glue.
On threads, poly fabrics, it is solvent enough to 'melt' the fibers and
permanently glue them together.
Just use a needle to get a drop or 2 around the socket or plug where the tube
goes-then slide the tube in and give it a little 'twist'. Couple of minutes it
will be dry, but STILL, use your air can to blow a stream of air through it, a
couple of times. If you don't, and the glue hasn't cured/dried yet-as soon as
you send a thread through it WILL dissolve the thread and glue it in place. To
be safe, do your 'glue job' and then let it sit for a couple of hours or
overnight!
