Don't know about other superglues or cyno type adhesive but this seems to stick lick the proverbial to a blanket

I think washing machine sealant would work well, I've used it for many similar tasks.
You can get it from any domestic appliance parts wholesaler.
Glasgow Appliances will stock it!

Hi
De grease the seal fully , I use to repair them with super glue then silicone spray the seal to aid fitting and prevent binding.
Although a new seal might be required if the damage is extensive.
Regards
Jon
