Replacing dryer door gasket

Whirlpool LGR5644AW0 gas dryer

I need to replace the door gasket as the old one came off and got mangled in the dryer. I show part number 3390734 as the correct gasket. What I am unsure about is the correct adhesive to mount the gasket. I see one glue on amazon as "Whirlpool Y055980 High Temperature Adhesive" but that cost seems high for one use. Am I looking at the correct adhesive? Is there something I might have at home (gorilla glue?) that can work or something cheaper to buy?

Also, what do I use to remove the old adhesive from the door without harming the finish and still be able to dissolve the glue?

High temperature adhesive is not required. A contact cement is. Coat the gasket and the metal. Allow the cement to setup and then press in place. Bonds instantly so make sure it's in the right place.

I use a professional 3M adhesive but it's very expensive.

My second choice is Good Year Pliobond.

A good easy to locate product is Weldwood contact cement....

Use lacquer thinner sparingly to remove the old glue.

 

Not sure on this seal but sometimes there is glue in seal package.
