Hey there - I use hot glue to stick the foam core to the base (which was discarded pergo floor shorts in this case - they make great little work tables!). The silicone in the photo is Silicones Incorporated GI 1000 - fabulous stuff that is also fabulously expensive. Lasts a long time, tho. They have several formulas depending on your application. I always freak out when I have to order silicone! I did just use some clear stuff lately that was not too pricey and held up really well. I'll have to crawl around in the studio for the manufacturer's label...
