Good strong glue

Can anyone recommend a good strong glue that isn't a liquid? I need to put it on a vertical surface but obviously don't want to have it all dribble down. I have no faith in Superglue - the only thing I've ever seen it stick is skin!

It's actually to mount my LPG control switch in position in the car. They're self-adhesive but for some reason this just won't stay stuck on. You can see what it's for here:

Thanks Jim but that's a bit much for the tiny bit I'll need. Was hoping for something in a 'modelling' size tube maybe ^^

Well yeah but you'll be able to put it back every time it falls off for years.

I think I would try a double sided foam sticky pad, cut to fit.

Car interiors get warm, so they might not last forever. Car rear view mirror stickers are a stronger version and will withstand solar heating.

Or (since I have some), a little blob of Shoe Goo, bearing in mind that this would be a near permanent solution.

jim was thinking very hard :

Did you look what I'm wanting it for? The whole switch is only 20mm square and as the wires come in to the middle I can only put the glue around the edges, so a few drops is all I need. Someone suggested Evo Stick contact and that's in a small tube with a much more manageable nozzle more suited to this application for £2.09. Thanks for your input though mate, it is appreciated.

Thanks folks, I'm going to try TNP's suggestion of Evostik contact as that should be easy enough to get on the required surfaces.

just pop the blank out you can glue on a flat surface then ?

Problem with that is that the blank is longer than the switch, so there'd be a hole then.

I meant for it to be easier to glue it :)

Haha, sorry lol Hmm, hadn't thought of that but I think the blank has been pushed in from behind, in which case it wouldn't work without major hassle.

John brought next idea :

Just to put this one to bed, I went with Evostik Impact contact adhesive and it did the job brilliantly, but thanks for all contributions and suggestions ^^
