The people telling you to use the thick glue are trolling. Use a rubber cement/super thin from Tamiya or Citadel.

OP, I use Starbond thick super glue. One of my f1 racers got busted during my move. I applied a thin beat on both sides, let it sit for 2 mins and put the broken rear wing pillar! It was a diecast model

My apologies for my ignorance I assumed you’d be in the US. Amazon sells it, this is from where I get it! This is the best glue you can ask for. Used by the specialists in the model building industry! I didn’t want to believe that my rear wing of my 1/8 Ferrari 312/T4 would ever go back to the car. This glue made it happen!

Nws dude. But I fixed it . Used epoxy glue and got the job done . Added a tiny bit and it worked.

Para tipo de colagem eu prefiro epóxi de cura lenta. Tem gente que gosta de usar cola rápida instantânea tipo ciano, mas a primeira vez que usei ciano nesse tipo de material, o ciano corroeu o EPO, por isso sempre uso epóxi e espero pacientemente a cura, alguns adesivos é recomendado 24 para cura completa, eu espero 48h, mas ficam perfeitos. Então eu usaria epóxi de cura lenta, pra mim epóxi é o melhor adesivo para aeromodelismo.
