There are several trains of thought on the best way to secure parts together temporarily.
Some suggest using a small amount of super glue, rubber glue or even PVA glue.
All of these are fine but will leave a glue residue when pulled apart.
Other modellers even drill holes in the parts and insert either plastic or brass rods.The risk of damage to the parts is great.
Personally, I use a product called Tacky Wax and like it says, it is very tacky and made of wax.
The good thing with this is, it allows you to reposition the model parts as many times as you like and when you have finished and ready to glue for the final time, you just have to remove the Tacky Wax with a small amount of warm soapy water.
