SLA tweeter adhesive

Hi. I'm looking for some advice/recommendation for a proper adhesive for some rear mount tweeters in home SLA cabinets.
Permanent, but with the ability to remove if needed for driver replacement.
Thanks,
Dale Hammer

Hi Dale. Amazing looking work you've done there.
The only solution that comes to mind at the moment is a tiny bead of black silicone. Or, possibly even put the driver in place and apply a thick bead around the parimeter of the backside of the flange so you don't have to worry about cleaning any of it off your beautiful finish and/or face of the element. I'll be curious to hear what some of the other guys thoughts are too.

Double sided tape.

Thanks for the input. After doing some tests, I decided on some non-reactive RTV (Permatex 80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant). Held and sealed really well, but with a little work, I could remove the tweeter if need be.
