Default Glue for repairing wall warts and laptop batteries?

So, Is there a glue that works well holding wall
warts back together and has a long shelf life?


Superglue (cyanoacrylate) works well for me, but don't buy the cheap
stuff.

Getting the wall-wart apart neatly is an art form in itself. I use a
bench vice (with protectors if the vice jaws are serrated) and try the
wall wart in various positions, tightening the vice to probe for the
weakest part of the joint. Once you get the seam separated at one
point, the rest is easy to gently crack open.

This is a better method than cutting, because it doesn't wreck the seam,
and re-gluing with superglue will be successful as the maximum contact
area between the two halves will have been preserved.
