Go to a local auto parts place and get some weather stripping adhesive.  It may come in a tube, or a can with a brush.  If you get it in the tube, pick up a soldering brush.

 

Apply the adhesive with the tube and spread it evenly with the brush, or squeeze some onto the brush and apply that way.  Use the way that you find the easier.  Apply a generous coating to the lid and the gasket.  You don't want it oozing out, so it may take a little experimenting to get a good, but not sloppy bond. 

Clean the surface of the lid and the surface of the gasket to ensure a good bond.  Press the gasket into place.  You may need to press around it a couple of times.  The stuff tacks pretty quickly.

You may need to get some help with your limitations but this procedure will work for the long haul

Silicone sealant in a tube will work also.
