I always use a paste of iceing sugar and water, a little thicker than normal. This always works fine, though you have to hold the edges you're gluing for a couple of seconds to make sure it sets in the right place.
A lot of places recommend a sort of caramel / sugar based glue but Ive never found it to work very well, making it is tricky and often lots of burnt fingers in the process - ouch!0 -
