Gator's grip... gives you plenty of time to work with, cleans up with a damp q tip

Thick CA (zap is my preferred CA) for strength but PVA etc if there is paint/clear parts in the mix.
I have heard of people using both as the CA can be brittle so adding PVA before/after that has dried allows a bit of movement. (have not tried it myself)
Stand aside caffine, this is a job for alcohol.
