A good choice for sticking to multiple stuff and strength of bond
would be a two-part epoxy. It's sometimes under "5 minute epoxy"
which indicates how long you'll have to hold the pieces together.
You'll mix the two parts of the epoxy together with a toothpick
or some other applicator and scoop it onto one of the pieces.
