I use five minute or thirty minute epoxy. But I have also used titebond but I don't like to wait that long.

i use plain ol super glue.  make sure your surfaces are flat, scuffed up good and put super glue on both surfaces.  use a c- clamp  and wait about 10 minutes.  probably ok sooner but i usually wait at least ten.   never have had one come off.  If i am using horn or antler i use epoxy.  plain wood gets superglue.

 All of the above, plus Gorilla glue. Depends on what is in reach.

locktight Superglue gel. Even stands up to a dry fire out of a 60# boo backed ipe ;D Just found that out last weekend. I had a broken knock and the arrow landed right in front of my  feet. Both the bow and the overlays were fine. That bows been shooting for a few years now as well so I trust the super glue.
