Check out your local Lowe's store and look at the spray adhesives. There are a few to choose from I used a high strength version..

Or any NAPA store with 3M trim adhesive. I cheated and used foil-faced adhesive-backed pipe insulation, layered. So far (several years...), so good. Not optimum, but it works.
