Maybe you can just use a drop of silicone. The kind they sell at
hardware shops, for sealing sinks and such. Once it cures (takes
about a day), it will be a little softer than the original foot
but may work sufficiently well.

If you want a stronger material, you could try polyurethane. It's
also used as a sealant (you may find it right next to the silicone)
but it's a bit more expensive.

Before applying the solicone or polyurethane, you should clean the
area where you'll attach it to the Ben thoroughly with alcohol, to
remove grease and other dirt.

I've seen silicone sold in tubes of 25 g (and larger) and silicone
and polyurethane sold in cartridges of 300 ml (and larger). For the
latter, you need a "pistol" to queeze the material out. They'll
also have that at the hardware store and it's cheaper than the
sealant itself.

Silicone is a quite versatile material and you may discover more
uses for it. If you want to shape its surface with a finger, you
should wet the finger with isopropylic alcohol (yet another item
your hardware store should have), to prevent it from sticking.

For polyurethane, you'd use a household cleaner for the same
purpose, but you'll have to try which ones work best - some can
leave discolorations.
