Has anyone found a good glue for PLA? Super glue does not seem to work even when clamped for a time.

I found that loc-tite 2 part epoxy works very well (find this at big box hardware stores).

I use Super glue all the time with success on PLA.
Are you using the liquid or gel super glue?
I find the gel super glue works much, much better.

I use the liquid superglue all the time and it works well, are you using it on very flat surfaces? If I'm not gluing the base of an object (which is flat from the bed), then I tend to sand the surface to be glued so it's really smooth.
