What is a good glue for string tip overlays?

I'm new to this but my first bow is coming along nicely. I've used Urac on my backing and rise, it is difficult to mix a very small amount. What would be a good alternate glue/epoxy for string tip overlays? I think someone once mentioned 2 ton epoxy or simply titebond 2 or 3.

Loctite super glue gel. Blue squeeze bottle from Lowe's or wherever.

The 2 ton epoxy will work fine but I find it hard to feather because it pretty hard when cured. I like the thick super glue but I get the best results from smooth on.

I've never tried superglue on wood. I am assuming from the replies that it bonds well to wood.
After my can of Urac is used up, I may try smooth on. It would probably be easier to mix in a small amount as it is 2 equal parts.

I use gel super glue and 2ton epoxy but know others that use TBII and TBIII. Pat

I used to use TB II or III, both do the job, but now I use Loctite superglue, so I can get back to work on the overlays in minutes
