Super glue.
Cyanocrylate adhesives were accidently discovered in WW2 while trying to develop a clear plastic. Later Eastman-Kodak held the patent and then sold it to Loctite on the 1960s.
Loctite 404 is so much better than anything else available on the market. It bonds better, it's stronger, it lasts longer and the bottle applicator is more controlled and easier to use. If you want it to last years, you can actually store in in the refrigerator when not being used.
I much prefer super glue with the brush applicator, but I can't find it in the U.S. anymore. When I saw some on a trip to Portugal, I bought it and brought it home with me. I'll try refilling it when it's gone.
