In response to the question of how long super glue will hold (Questions & Answers, FSM, March 2012), I started using super glue (cyanoacrylate) in the late 1960s to attach brass detail parts to cast-brass boilers on model railroad S scale steam locomotives (as opposed to using solder). More than 40 years later, the parts are still firmly attached with no sign of deteriorating joints or diminished strength.
