                        I have been using, variously, white glue, super glue gel, or fast-setting super glue; depending on how springy the materials are. White glue for the stuff you don't have to hold down. Super glue for the stuff that you need to use the end of a paper clip or somethine to get it to sit on the base long enough for the glue to take gold.

                        OK---seriously now----

                        90% of modelers you ask (even the modellers) will say white glue--most of them will say dilluted with water.  A few may reccommend  a specific product(same thing) made for the purpose--like the one from Woodland Scenics----I would recommend  the versatile , strong ^&^ convenient

                        Spray Adhesive from 3M called Super #77 Spray---give it a shot
