A super glue I've found that I'm very impressed with. It takes a touch longer to cure, nearly a minute but sets super tough. It is advertised as having impact strength and it is definitely true. I don't use anything else now.
You can get it on eBay easily enough.

I used to use Gorilla Glue all the time for arts and crafts as a kid. At least where I live here in the US, it's widely available in almost any arts and craft stores. I don't use it now because I thought GW superglue was perhaps higher quality. But now I want to pick some up and test it out for myself! Thank you kind sir.

It's my superglue of choice. I also use an accelerant with it and find that when doing so it makes a reasonable gap filler too.

This is my favorite superglue for model building. It's rubberized so has a bit of flex and doesn't snap off as easily as most other superglues that I've found.

I don't use an accelerator on it though, I'm just leery of using those.

To be clear, it's not Gorilla Glue that he's talking about. They make a superglue as well and that's what he's mentioning. I've found it at Target, Wal Mart, and a couple of drug stores.

I would imagine that using Gorilla Glue itself would be an exercise in rapidly induced madness.
