RE: Best glue type
The EP-42 is large enough at 330sq inches, it won't be affected much by small fractions of an ounce in weight. Epoxy, traditional wood glues(aliphatic/elmers), Gorilla(polyurethane), or CA could all be used here with little impact as long as you're not globbing it around by the tablespoon full. It might be worth spending a fraction of an ounce on beefing up the area with a couple of Popsicle sticks.
