I need to glue thin pieces of 26 gauge sterling silver to trustone for a segmented pen.
What do I need to use? Will CA do it? Two part epoxy? What?

<br />Thanks all. I was especially interested to hear what Gisi uses since it is the style of one of his scalloped pens I have become interested - obsessed really - in reproducing.
I'm going to try Berea's Fexible CA, and the Rod Bond also sounds promising. At the Rod Bond website, I cannot get the "find a dealer" page to work. I have found a site that sells it over the internet, but surely Bass Pro Shops would have the stuff. I shall find out today.

It is readily available in my shop, I have three viscosities plus a gel and it seems to do the job quickly and ...
I am not a patient person.
