Re: best glue to use

CA or superglue is the best when gluing to metal permenently.. If you are planning on removing it at a later date, you should use elmers white school glue..

Re: best glue to use

Zap brand Slo Zap is a great CA for working on diecast models. It is a thicker gel like CA and makes it easier to apply to only the areas you want. Normal CAs have a tendency to be runny and can end up marring a models surface.
