Hot glue is fine or a good epoxy or even a pure silicone.

Hot glue is safe to use, but it wont hold very long. It usually only holds for a couple of days, then it starts separating from whatever you attach it to.

I don't know I hot glued a plant stem back into one of my caves over six months ago and it still is holding.............Hot glue is just a melted polymer and once it cools it is strong.
