I have some Fixsal trade super glue 20g which I keep in the fridge for 2 reasons:1/It thickens the solution & makes it easier to use,so that it does not run all over the place,2/I believe the glue last longer in a cool enviroment.I only ever use this as a last solution or because it is appropriate.As a rule I never use super glue in model making,as it easily 'breaks'.As other members have said-'Pinning' is the number one safest method.I would rather use a 2 part epoxy glue & hold a piece together by hand for 5 minutes,than chance a super glue.On the full size K9 the ears have 3 toothbrush rings stuck to a cocktail stick......each one was epoxy glued & held by hand to get them just right.Sometimes with 2 part epoxy glue,it may be possible to hold the item together in a vice or with a rubber band or by gravity.There is a risk on fiddly bits of sticking your fingers together,so wear gloves or make sure you have the de-bonder.
