Suggestion for glues

Guys

Do you have any suggestion for gluing metallic inserts in printed parts ? I dont want to solder them in.
I am looking at loctite ultra gel, not sure how it works on metal to plastic bond

I have brass, coated steel and stainless steel ones. Plastic is Colorfabb XT

Re: Suggestion for glues

a Cyanoacrylate glue should be fine for securing parts , though a two part exoxy glue may also work for something with loose tolerances

2 part epoxies tend to be a lil messy.
Cyanoacrylate is superglue right ? Any brand suggestions for people in the US ?

Loctite Ultra Gel should work just fine.

2 component glue

But I find it much nicer embedding those pieces in the print. Just Insert a pause in the g-code - put thing in - continue printing

Try super glue and baking soda for an instant weld.
