It still needs to be used in a very thin layer, but does the job as per what I mentioned.

This way I can also use a slow cure super epoxy while the superglue holds it in place.

When I was young, I liked the "putting things together part" of modeling. Now that I'm older, I'd rather paint than do fiddly assembly. It seems I've become a grognard!
