You could of course just continue double gluing - some people recommend this method.

A lot of modelers use Elmers, others use Aleenes Tacky glue (a thicker PVA and my favorite), UHU all purpose, or Duco cement. I find Elmers dries too slow and causes warping, and UHU and Duco get lumpy and stringy.
Wonderful! I really have got to stop saying wonderful but with all these great people and great tips, Wonderful fits the bill nicely. So! Wonderful. I Will give those other glues a try as well, but out of the types of glue I have been trying the Elmer's seems to be the best so far for my needs. I read the other thread about CA glue to that's another avenue I will be going down too for the smaller parts and stiffening purposes.

Cheers
Jim
