Which Adhesive?

I'm having a problem with my weatherstripping around the doors and the hood of my 70 442 coming loose. Looks like the adhesive the rebuilder used I's not holding. Anyone know the right type adhesive and where I cN purchase it?
Thanks.

You have to apply a thin coat to the weather strip and the area your trying to stick it to. Let it skin over for a few minutes and stick them together.

Recommend the black for weatherstripping. If any little bit squeezes out, yellow will stick out like a sore thumb.

Great Help

Thanks to the replies it will be a big help. Looks like they used some sort of clear glue.

I have both and I recommend Permatex;
Permatex 81850 Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, 5 oz. : Amazon.com : Automotive Permatex 81850 Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, 5 oz. : Amazon.com : Automotive
So much easier to use. 3M is "stringy", you squeeze some out and try to pull the tube away and it strings and then breaks and leaves a messy spot. Permatex is better in that respect, and about the same in all other.
