3M Weather Striping Cement (not imitation but real thing).... RTV better know as GE Silicone Rubber... Usually sticks anything to anything unless surface is greasy....

Good question, as my neoprene seals came with adhesive backed tape. With aluminum wash the surface with Acetone/Alcohol for better adhesion. As Dale mentioned those will work for sure.
