Like Allan says, I also use 1" wooden disks and fender washers for my
fighter bases.	Instead of Goop, I use 'E6000', a glue found in most
craft
stores and in the craft area of  Wal-Mart.  I raided it from my wife's
craft
supplies since it is commonly used in crafting for jewelry where you
have to
attach a stone to fabric or metal.  Its also goopy, similar to rubber
cement
but dries much stronger and attaches pretty much anything to anything. 
It
stays somewhat flexable when dried and works best when you have a decent
amount of contact area.
