Regarding gluing the components... for some years now I have been using a class of glues known as "SBR Adhesives". The manufacture's rep I spoke with on the phone says this is Styrene Butadyene Rubber. These glues dry clear, are very slightly rubbery, but quite strong. By having a little flex they maintain a good bond.

If a component needs to be removed, you can slice through the glue with a sharp knife, or just pry it off.

The brands I use are E6000 by Eclectic Products, and Aleene's Platinum Bond 7800 by Aleene's. The 7800 is slightly less viscous than the E6000.

These glues gel up quickly, and are excellent for gluing dissimilar materials, wood to plastic, metal to wood, metal to plastic, etc.

Available in hardware, hobby, and craft shops. I have found both in Walmart.
