there's a product for accelerating the cure of super glues in open air that might be of use to you, follow the link. There are super glues with different setting times that would be useful for setting up a cantilever 'repair' without the danger of instant curing. The accelerant works great, you only need a little bit of it and you can even cover the joint with a kleenex, spray it on and let the fumes set things up to make for a less volatile cure. Highly useful. Lots of hobby and train shops carry the stuff.

Thanks. That's a handy link.The Grace retip job is doing well at this point, so maybe I won't need to work on that one anymore. That project has my confidence level up though, so I seriously doubt if the F9E will be my last retip attempt. The next step is to find a cantilever source, and that may be quite a task. Until then, I'm stuck with using donor stylus assemblies from different cartridges. I am just now finding out about all this stuff, but I am a reasonably quick learner.
There is plenty to learn, however. For example, I didn't know that the piece of metal above the cantilever on an ADC was the magnet. It seems so simple now, but I was clueless about it. I bought one that had an unglued magnet, and I was prepared to take the cartridge apart because it wouldn't work. Luckily, another Inmate stopped me, or that one would have never played its first record. At least I didn't screw up the Grace F9E. I'm listening to it now. :)
Is your wife's wedding ring in imminent danger ? ;-)
She probably lost it. We don't wear rings because of our work. She may scratch a patient, and mine is a hazard that could get caught in a machine. I have an invisible one through my nose, however.
