I plan on using JB Weld. I think any epoxy would work also. All it's
doing is holding things in place to make the riveting easier.
I helped my son do his rudder, and we didn't glue it at all. Of course
it required 2 of us to do it that way, but it came out great.

May not be available at Home Depot or Ace.... but I would use 3M 5200 Fast Cure
(24-HR) Adhesive/Sealant. You can purchase it online or as I did from a local
marine supply store. Boaters (and airplane builders) love this stuff. I've
yet to find a better adhesive. Comes in white or black color. One six-ounce
tube is approx. $10 but will be enough to build an entire airplane where needed.
Store the unused portion in a zip lock bag and keep it refrigerated.
Caution: Once this stuff sets up... it WON'T be coming off! I used it to glue
my NACA vents to the fuselage so as not to use any rivets. I also used it glue
the intersection fairings to my wheel pants.
NOTE: The regular 3M 5200 takes 5-7 days to set-up. Be sure to get the 5200 FAST
CURE (24-HR) unless you are not in a hurry....
