I`m going to try the masking tape and glue hold down method, do I use any masking tape and super glue

Yes, ordinary masking tape works, we use it all the time without any issues, but the blue painter's tape works best.
Any cheap superglue will work.

+1 for blue tape. I get bottles of superglue from B&Q -

Works well, lasts well, so economical.

Toolstation is where you need to be, less that half B&Q price and top class stuff, high or low viscosity.

They also have the blue masking tape.

I'll remember that when I'm next in a Toolstation, but what I'd save on tape & glue I'd more than spend on petrol...

Toolstation has a low free delivery threshold £25. The stupid thing is that if you have £20 in the basket, it is either spend another fiver or pay the same anyway. I just fill up the 25 with masking tape, superglue or wall plugs.

I used to get the blue 3m stuff but it gets expensive, now I buy yellow stuff from a car paint supplier.

Its called Q1 and works out about £1.50 a roll if you buy a whole box, really good for that price.
