Default small tube of silicon?

I want to attach a hook to a glass surface. I was hoping to use hot glue but to no avail. I would like to use something that would not be a bear to remove later on. Silicon comes to mind though all I need is a small amount.

Suggestions for best place to get a really small tube or an alternative adhesive?

Gorilla glue comes to mind. I have not used it on glass but I think I remember being told it would work. Hopefully we will get an answer from some one who knows for sure.

It's possible to get small tubes of silicone. Like 60ml or so. You can get it where you buy silicone tubes

Wasn't using my head -- I should have mentioned that the hook is embedded in a small square of plexiglass in case that might make a difference.

Rain, would G glue be easy to remove later should I desire to do so?

Thanks, GG. I'll have to check. Wasn't sure how common little tubes might be. Considering the minute amount I need, hate to buy more than I need and have it go to waste.
