I've been experimenting with wooden disks on metal fender washers for
making fighter stands. Dean G. gave me the idea, though I have modified
his idea a little (using small tacks instead of earring stems, snipped
short, because they are cheaper). 

The glue I use is Goop. Goop is messy and, well, goopy. It's very thick.
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. 

Not everyone likes Goop as it is pretty thick, but what it does it does
very well.
