Liquid Nails (for Small Projects) works well also.

However, it's the only glue that holds soft plastic pieces (such as that
used to make HO scale Revell, Airfix, ESCI, Matchbox, etc. figures). It
does
a very good job of gluing wood to metal. You can also sculpt it, a
little,
around the edge like caulking, but you have to do it quickly.
