Best Glue?
What is the best/strongest/longest lasting glue to use for the wood dash strips on a 107? I had my wood refinished a little over a month ago. The wood looks beautiful, but the two strips on either side of the glove box handle came unglued after about a month (so far, all the other pieces are holding). I'm told the installer used "thick gel super glue." Is there anything out there that would do a better job? Thanks in advance.

Gorilla Glue? It seems to work pretty well on almost everything.

I had a problem with the wood on my ashtray, kept falling off. I resorted to the two part epoxy made for wood. It has held for 6 months now.
Liquid nails is another option

It was 3 years ago since I used Super or Crazy glue gel, can't remember which beside they're both the same, on mine and the strips and ashtray wood is sill holding tight with no mess.
Nice and easy does it every time. Cheers...Lee

Loctite makes a two-part epoxy gel that comes in a clever container. It is a dual plunger syringe-like gizmo that pushes out equal parts of the stuff. Also sets up in 5 minutes or so.

GORILLA GLUE is very good, you have to brace it until it dries, but it remains plyable so it will not vibrate off, like epoxy will do as it eventually hardens to glass.
try the glue on something else to learn how it grows (like great-stuff foam insulation)

When restoring Morris Minor Travellers, I glue all the wood framing and any thing else in wood with "Two pot epoxy resin". You can use it "straight" which is very runny or mix in some "micro balloons" in which you can make any consistancy you require.
All of this stuff can be purchased from your local fiberglass shop. Hope this helps Gerard
