Have you guys tried Shoe Goo? I use it in modeling to hold wiring and
nose weights. etc. Sticks like crazy...........I just removed a lead
weight and it tore the structure out, stretching like rubber. Get it
in your local hardware store.

Yes, great stuff and pretty much the same as Goop. Used it to attach a
set of Williams Soaring wing tip wheels on an RS-15 which was still
holding strong after three years when I sold the sailplane. Those
wing tip wheels are great.
