Hot glue works very well, but remember to keep the glue as hot as you can as
it will cool very quickly and you may have to reglue portions. Spray-glues
also work well enough, but you have to give them adequate drying and
off-gassing time if they're to be in proximity to objects of value. If you
use a water based cement, you can accelerate the drying time by using a blow
dryer on it until it's tacky, which doesn't take long.
Finally, you can us a commercial type hot air gun to heat the surfaces
enough to melt them slightly, then smash them together for a permanent hold.
This takes a little practice. I've also used a propane torch for heating
the surfaces, but this really takes practice as the heat is so great it can
melt deeply.
Hope this is of some help!
