Adhesive Help - Rubbery Bond Could Pull Off if Desired (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking to replace a panel of my computer mouse with a 3D printed part. I don't want to create a permanent bond (such that it can be changed out in the future), so I was considering something like rubber cement or silicone caulking to affix it. Thought I would check with those more knowledgeable as to the suitability of those options/suggestions for others.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Not my pictures.

There's only the one part (replacement part is orange PLA) that affixes directly to the mouse (abs plastic?).

The black part off to the side is the old rubber shell that peeled off.

A glue gun may do the trick - at least it's non destructive enough to give it a try!
