I used silicon rubber 2-component glues to attach PMTs to blocks of
lead glass (about thousand pieces in total at CERN at JLab).  The
connection is pretty strong but can be removed easily using a razor
blade and water, leaving no cracks or residue. The last time (2004) I
bought:

ELASTOSIL RT 601: A component - 59.5 lbs B component - 6.6 lbs ($1547)
