Default Epoxy,CA, Super glue? "fiberglass noob needs help"

I bought a cheap new plane and it needs to have the fuselage strengthened, I am thinking about running a small strip of fiberglass down the center and was wondering what type of glue to use, Epoxy, CA, super?

Thanks this will be my first time trying glass.

Use Epoxy for the fiberglass for the best strength. CA can be a little brittle. I use an old credit card or plastic hotel key to squeegee out the excess.
