I have no experience with Bomar gaskets but my I offer suggestion: you call Bomar and ask Tech Support how to apply the glue. Or find the installation instructions on-line at Bomar. I'd hate to chemically alter the gasket by using the wrong glue/solvent with it. I usually follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use their chemically compatible products.
I find tech support is usually pretty good at most companies. I've learned alot from tech support departments.
