Makes it easy.
All the glue I seem to find here in Sendai is 'Panaracer'. No problem for me as it spreads well from a brush and gets tacky in just about the right time to get the tub on. I've never had an adhesion problem. If I have to do a bit of clean up, I use some lighter fluid (benzene) on some cotten.
