I've had good results with thick superglue and accelerator misted on it.
This can be done in a few seconds. I use small plastic locking clamps to
hold in place while the accelerator does its thing. Got the clamps at
Walmart some years ago.

I've also used the superglue/Titebond combo with good results. I generally
prefer the superglue with accelerator because it's faster. However, I'm a
little concerned about what's in the accelerator. Probably not at all good
for us.
