We use a "no headache inducing" silicon adhesive from Dow Corning (3145
RTV).  This expensive stuff is non-acidic and doesn't react with
anything.  Takes an hour or two to set up and is fully cured in 24
hours.  Great for WW sockets - glue them on then go for lunch.  When you
get back it has cured enough to start wire wrapping.  The real question,
though, is: who's got the time for a one hour lunch?
