Luciferin and luciferase with hellfire sauce, probably.  If I were to

together with all twelve or whatever clips, but if you're concerned I
reckon Silicone Adhesive Sealant (any color) would do.  I'd even
guess that Silicone gasket-forming material might do as well, and
give you a fighting chance of getting the thing open again if you have to.
