The metal currently in use is not very porous.Super glue is not very strong and very thin. Try roughing up the surface with sandpaper.You may need to pin it like already mentioned. I like Gorilla glue too. You may still need to rough up the surface for a good bond. Clamps are another option.

I often use a paper clip. Smaller bits are often necessary for drilling hands for spears. The dremel will break them if you make the slightest mistake. Hand tools are often the best. The needle nose pliers will cut wire but clippers and flush cutters are better. I purchased several sets of the pliers for the kids to use when they are here. They are about $2 ea.
