    The crazy glue idea sounds good but depending on the application I'd
    be concerned about getting a proper flow. As an extreme example if
    one were to crazy glue a sprue onto an item if you didn't have a
    fillet of sorts then the 'working diameter' of the sprue might be
    lessened. The bond may look good to a casual observer but might be
    undercut at the join enough to maybe cause a problem with turbulence
    or whatever. If its like a bail added on, the finished cast could
    also be undercut resulting in a weak part. 

    It was probably asked already but how about welding with a wax pen?
    You should be able to plunge that hot puppy into the join and get a
    complete weld, no?
