Must be a finger picker.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Go with the rubber adhesive. The trick is to prepare the surface correctly. Although you may think its clean there will ALWAYS be traces of residue on the surfaces you are glueing. Wipe them down thoroughly (both surfaces) with laquer thinner and remove all the old glue and dirt. If you dull the surfaces thats ok. (Remember to follow the manufacturers safety guidelines.) This is the main trick 90% of people miss when using adhesives and its really 90% of the job. It'll do the trick I promise

gorilla snot is most likely what its called actually.

Nope, Gorilla Snot is a gripping rosin used to help hold on to drumsticks, fiddle bows, and so on. It's also used to keep finger picks from sliding off, that's what I've seen it used for the most. I suppose you could use it with flatpicks too, but I don't know anybody that does.

Gorrilla Glue is great stuff, But the Spray 77 should do the job. I
have a lot of experince working with the 77 from being in the graphics field. Have you tried spraying it on the metal box and
let it dry for a 1/2 hour ( rubbing alcohols will help to) spray it on
the rubber same thing let it dry. When both sufaces are both dry but still tacky put em' together!! Should bond no problem ??
Gorrilla glue has a foaming action, So use it sparingly. It also works best when you clamp it. It take's a few hours to dry(cure)
But once it does IT AIN'T GONNA COME OFF.

Have you thought about using Epoxy Resin at all?

It's what I use to stick Strap locks into my guitars when they come loose. I did the 1st 1 about 5 years ago and it's not moved since

Still say you should screw 'em down.

John, If you want the rubber to stay on forever, use 2 part epoxy. It comes in a varity of qualitys. For Concrete, Plastics, etc. It comes in a seringe applicator so you get equal amounts of adhesive, and activator. Brush some on both sides stick it together, let it dry for a few hours and it ain't ever gonna come off!!! P.S. I haven't sent my Wah yet, been busy, but I will get it to you As soon as I get a chance!
