Firefighter bud, get yourself some Loctite superglue GEL. Lot easier to control and work with, you need minimal application and it's strong as hell. It's the superglue I been using since build start and what I use in all me builds that require superglue

Get in touch with Elmers hardware, Ipswich.
They sell 20g bottles (Big!) for £1.50!!!
Even adding some postage, it's still a bargain.
