Default MR #2167 fins

I’m getting ready to mount the fins onto an Estes #2167 Redstone (the version with the slot-mounted, molded fins). My question is: what’s the best adhesive to use in the slots? I’ve built many of these over the years and I’ve had problems with mounting the fins solidly enough. I’ve used Testors styrene cement, CA, epoxy, Ambroid, and Tenax 7r and I’ve never felt the union was secure enough.

Any recommendations? Thanks!
