Hey, right I'm having abit of trouble resealing my fogs after painting, I've had a search and i see a lot of people reheat the original glue but i scrapped it all out! i decided to use something strange, no more nails when i went to fit them this evening one on them fell apart so obviously that isn't going to work, I've seen about using silicone? but i always though that it isn't sticky "/, also how do you apply it as it seems to squeeze inside 
Many thanks Dan

Don't squirt so much silicon in you only need to make a seal it dosent need to be massively thick, I used it on my headlights and fogs had no problems at all
