what kind of glue should I use?

I was wondering what kind of glue people use for faceplates? I'm building a tremolo inside a wah enclosure so the only thing holding the faceplate will be the glue. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  :)

I've used double-sided tape to hold it in place and then run a bead of low-viscosity epoxy (250-500 cps) around the edges.

But you'd probably be fine with super glue.

Stomptown's suggestion about the double sided tape is solid.  Just make sure you use industrial strength type thin tape.

If you want to glue it, I suggest you rough up both the faceplate and the mounting spot on the enclosure and use epoxy.  Superglue is OK, but pretty brittle when it dries.  Epoxy is forever.
