Solder Headers - What bonding agent to use?

[andy12646]

When building headers from solder, what bonding agent (ie: epoxy. super glue) do you prefer to use to bond the header tubes (solder) to each other? And what brand do you recommend?

I use CA. Most any brand works well including cheap dollar store single use tubes. My preferred brand is BSI (Bob Smith Industries). It comes in several viscosities that are handy for various purposes, though super thin is my go to CA. They also sell accelerator (AKA kicker) which is highly recommended, and they sell a CA de-bonder, which is marginally effective regardless of brand.

I've done several and I've always used CA, its never failed me and is easy to use.
