Default Adhesives/ set me straight

ok, I used a glue from a model shop that was suppose to be super strong. (on my Xenon lower body skirt)well while I was down in St Louis and it got to 100 degrees it came apart. I went to the hardware store and I was over whelmed by the amount of glues/ epoxies/ super glue, silicones/ cement. you name it, their must be hundreds of different types of adhesives. I want to put on something that will hold and not come apart in the heat. please set me straight. [:I]Gary

Well, I origanilly used a glue from a hobby shop which didn't hold. It was called quick grip. Now I found this stuff by Loctite called 401 adhesive. Been on for two days and holding up great. This is suppose to be industrial grade. Time will tell. Gary
