Are you having trouble sticking something together? Seriously consider this.
Epoxy putty sticks - you cut a bit off, and knead it together and mix the outer part with the inner part. It begins to go off in 5 minutes, and in an hour sets to rock hard. I have used it to fix the gimmick back onto the Bazar de magia milk pitcher, and the Kovari Pom Pom pole I fixed eyelets for the strings to pass through (this stops the strong wearing into the PVC). Some other glues are too thin or break apart easily. The epoxy putty will make life so much easier. After a few minutes you can easily mould it and scrape away excess, then it will bind almost anything.

Here is an example of what you can buy, so many different brands and types.

I use dental acrylic powder with self curing liquid. Dries fast and cures super hard. This is primarily used for making false teeth.

Scott, for certain applications I like epoxy putty too!
Lou, where can you buy that stuff?
