How do I reattach loose display to Apple Watch?

The display on the Apple Watch became detached. Apple wants $240 to reattach it. If my Apple Watch was totally broken, I'd sooner buy a new one.

It appears that the display is glued to some sort of rubber gasket.

What should I use to reattach the display to the gasket?

Thanks.

I have also seen suggestions to use a black silicon adhesive.

iFixit is a bit of a process, and I worry about applying too much heat with a heat gun.

I am going to bring it to a watch repair shop, to see if they will charge lot less than Apple.

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
