I gave E6000 a try, looked promising, but it stretched and tore under tension at the rubber tear, after which it all very easily peeled right back off the rubber. Back to the drawing board....
Thanks to this thread, I picked up some E6000. Very good stuff for what I used it for, but not for this, it sets too firm. Thanks to whoever recommended it, as it has it's uses. You likely need something more flexible.
If you want to possibly waste 6 bucks, try this stuff on one of them:

Inconvenient caulking tube, but it may be close to the resiliency of your substrate, it is "stretchy and boingy" if that makes sense. How well it sticks to your substrate, I don't know, but it may be worth a try. Under the "not recommended uses", was "butyl caulking compounds", your mic suspensions may be some form of butyl, I dunno.
But it is black. Available at the usual big box hardware stores, Loews, Home Depot.
I got it to experiment with adhering foam on painted steel speaker grills, squeezed some out on scrap plywood, and rolled it on the steel with a 3" paint roller, worked great. Looking at the scrap plywood later, it would make an excellent pickup truck bed liner, except for the high friction, nothing slides over this grippy high-friction surface. So I will use it on a walk ramp next.
Note that it takes a day to not be tacky, a week or so to really set up. It is polyurethane based, moisture curing, and once the tube is opened and even properly sealed, (tight fitting cap over the nozzle, petroleum jelly to seal leaks) you still need to use it up in a couple weeks.
Good luck with it,
