    Maybe try hot glue. It should do the job, and the hot glue gun is a lot smaller than the caulking gun.

    I used Dap wood putty for a pair of 5's once, Had to put it on by hand with a putty knife. I use Liquid Nails or something similar if I can get a gun in there.

    I don't think hot glue would hold as well personally.

    Hot glue isn't going to stick very well to particleboard. I recall seeing small tubes of Liquid Nails or the like recently at the hardware store.

    I have used this with good success plus it is water clean up so go ahead and use your fingers.

    I used this on my 2.3TL's: Loctite Power Grab Heavy Duty Exterior Construction Adhesive

    Bought it at Lowes and it comes in caulking gun type tubes or smaller squeeze tubes. It literally has no odor (and no respiratory warnings), the lowest VOC's of anything I looked at and cleans up with water.

    For the tight places I put a dab on my finger and ran it into the joints. The stuff I bought dries clear.
