Re: Which glue to use ?
Metal is about the shittiest thing to glue.
One thing i can tell you ; if you want it to stick, dont use accelerator ; the bond get weaker that way.

Re: Which glue to use ?
I have some GF9 glue that works pretty well. But you have to hold the pieces together for a good half-minute. I bought a little clampy thing with a magnifying glass that I use sometimes with good effect.

I highly recommend getting a superglue accelerant spray. No more holding while the stuff sets.

Well like Enkiel said, when you use that, the bond isn't as strong. I have it but don't use it much.

Most good hardware stores will likely stock it, as Loctite is a huge international brand. If you're by some chance you're in Scandinavia, Clas Olsson, Teknikmagasinet and Jula stocks it at a reasonable price.
UK, John Lewis stocks it and sells it online.
US, try Amazon or your local hardware store.

Yeah, Loctite has served me and many of my fellow gamers well. I recommend it as well. Most brand name super glues work well, but be a little leary of non-brand (or cheap imitation brands) versions as many are watery and require more effort for sticking.
You can also use pins and greenstuff to help in some instances.

Re: Which glue to use ?
+1 for pins and greenstuff; it gives the glue much better support, and surfaces to bond to!

That stuff looks exactly like the super glue in fallout! perhaps a bit smaller. The superglue we get here is just in wee tubes.
For metal I use any superglue on the market, even cheap knock-off super glue seems to work. The plus with cheap super glue is you can spread it around on a base, sprinkle it with sand and build up rock hard gap fillers very easily. I use that mix under larger rocks to give it stability.

Re: Which glue to use ?
I find most superglue to work fine so long as you have a good surface to join.
If you've an ok surface, a tiny ball of greenstuff between two surfaces each with a very thin layer of superglue works.
If you've a meh kinda surface then pin and greenstuff to hide the join.
Failing all else, a 2 part epoxy glue will hold stuff no matter what, but is tricky to use (takes 5 min to dry and at first isn't particularly viscous) and should only be used in well ventilated areas.

Just huff on the joins before pressing together - the moisture in your breath will accelerate the curing process.
