Slipping bike seat cover? Easy solution!

I was at my local neighborhood bike tech today, schmoozing about my new tires on order, and we talked about bike seats (because I love my noseless seat) and he noticed my cover slips. He suggested the following easy solution involving *rubber cement* of the school supplies variety (NOT CONTACT CEMENT).

Remove bike seat cover
Coat the top of the bike seat with rubber cement
Coat inside of the bike seat cover with rubber cement, where it will contact the top of the bike seat when in use
Let all of this dry
When dry, put the cover on the seat, and snug it up as usual.

No slipping! And, it's easy to rub all of the rubber cement off if you ever want to use the seat without a cover.
Here's a photo of my Hobson Easy Seat II, coated with rubber cement, and the inside of my gel "cruiser-style" seat cover.
