Sylgard-184, as a silicone high-voltage potting compound, would be perfect
for this task. Curing time is length, however, at several days.

That should work well too. Home Depot/Lowes has all sorts of epoxies. I
remember that at least some of them are very close to being clear.

If the tube in question is a Nixie, however, the clear glass in front of the
digits may get fouled by the drying glue. Cyanoacrylate has the nasty habit
of occasionally evaporating and locally re-depositing on nearby surfaces,
leaving a white, powdery coating that is hard to remove. Structurally,
I would think that maybe a small shield made of paper, taped
on to the tube might help keep the front free of the fouling
glue vapor. Tape it on, glue the tube base, then peel the
shield off. Just an idea.

Exactly why I initially suggested Sylgard-184. It has a very high elastic
modulus and will not crack anything, even with extreme temperature cycling.
