Simple: Keep doing/using what you know and trust. One of the great things about this list is that the cumulative experience of so many people becomes a huge, real-world testing laboratory for things like this. What works, what doesn't work, what singes your eyebrows: it all gets revealed. Maybe wood glue is not optimal for repairing a Stradivarius violin, but a little dab to glue a jack flange back on a 100-year-old whippen is NOT going to affect tone, tone transmission, your business, or global warming (whatever that is). So I say, fire up your 12-cylinder diesel stretch SUV, grab your bag of tools and favorite glues, get out there and carry on, Dude!
