Forget all the other crap you have tried. the best I have found is Dev con 5 minuet 2 part epoxy. Get the kind in the double tube and just quiz equal portions and mix well . I have used this on brass to wood and all the rest. the cure time will be about 2 hours in total, but in about 5 - 6 parts should hold. Bob

I’ve finally started assembling an American Standard Pullman kit. So far I have tried several different adhesives, none with really good results. None of the ACC glues have worked to glue the metal parts to the plastic sides. Rubber cement sets up but is easy knocked apart. I suspect 2 part epoxy will work but haven’t resorted to that.
Could members that have built these kits let me know what worked for you and how you clamped the parts for the glue to dry?
Thanks,
Tom
