Slightly off beat question, but ,..

My dive club is running a fancy dress dive for Halloween, and I was going to go as a clown (maybe an evil clown). As part of that I'd like to use a red nose, and I have a foam one. If I can somehow attach it over the nose on my mask, I will still be able to equalise. Question is how do fix it without damaging the mask?
I guess I could attach with a bungee around the back of my head, but better would be if I could temporarily glue it on. But what glue can I use that will hold (superglue?) and will it damage/weaken the silicon?

BTW - before anyone gets worried, there are all sorts of rules, such as no face paint (water pollution), nothing that could cause entanglement etc.
 
Use silicon sealant, like bathroom caulk.

If it is a silicone mask, will silicone sealant melt into it? I have never tried it, but I think I have heard this can happen.
 
Different silicon. That's why I didn't suggest Aqua-seal. Silicon is impervious to most everything.
 
Silpoxy is a product that will bond the silicon to rubber, but I think this is just for a gag, not forever. Bathroom or marine caulk will come off eventually.
