Fast-drying airplane cement is most useful, because it can easily attach pieces of cardboard or balsa wood to a piece of wire and will be firm in a matter of a few minutes. It is also good to put a dab of the cement anyplace at which a thread is attached to a wire to hold the thread firmly in place.
In working with airplane cement, it is a good idea to work on pieces of waxed paper, because cemented objects will not adhere to the waxed surface.
