our freezer's seal has detached from the lid... horizontal freezer...

Eclectic E6000 adhesive would work perfect for that application.

The E6000 stays pliable and does not get brittle over time.

Epoxy would be hard to clean off if you needed to install a new gasket.

Ditto on the E6000

I'd try double back duct tape

emblem adhesive

My first thought was automotive emblem adhesive. The stuff is incredibly tough. Read what 3M says about it on this page: https://www.amazon.com/3M-08061-Plastic-Emblem-Adhesive/dp/B0002MID28

Good for metals, paint, plastics, all types of trim, flexible, holds in subzero to impossibly hot, holds up in years of rain or desert. I'd clean first with degreaser, soap/water, then alcohol.

Which ever adhesive you choose, the bond strength will be highly dependent on cleanliness of the bonding surface.
