Re: [APD] Yeast CO2 in 55 gal tank

I have used "gloop", which is an adhesive in a tube, usually sold where 
the various epoxies are sold in the hardware store, and it worked well, 
but is pretty slow curing.  Also, I found that hot melt glue  works ok 
too.  Neither really makes a solid mechanical bond to those plastic 
caps, so you can pretty easily pry the glue off, but they do seal well 
and hold well enough.  The hot melt glue gun method is certainly the 
easiest and fastest.
