Some planes like foamie can get away with CA I supposed. But I think you should just continue to use epoxy as per normal, you will get better for sure
Just make sure the mix is correct, like Pacer 50/50 etc. Otherwise, it will be rubbery and not adhere well.Stop looking for a gyro in my plane, they are all in the head.

Else try the UHU POR. not a bad for foam... but epoxy is the strongest... believe me if you are flying... its kinda handy :P

I use toothpick..those old school flat wooden kinds + cupboard from boxes with a glazed side. Easy to mix and apply.Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect.
