I am looking to glue plastruct hand rails to the top lid of a can. I would like to know what glue to use if I use plastic hand rails on the can, or what glue to use if I use brass hand rails on the can,

I would use a "gel" CA glue. Much easier to control the amount needed.
I have successfully used Loctite Supper glue (ACC) in the small blue dispencers for several years with great results. Give it a try. A suggestions= It does dry in 5 seconds so place a very small drop on the part being glued too and hold the placing part on the glue drop and count to 20 and let go.
Using a hammer and chisel I have suceeded in some instances in seperating the glued items.

The best glue I found for literally gluing anything to anything else is Gorilla Glue. The only caution is to use it sparingly because this glue actually expands as it dries.

I will second the gorilla glue. It is amazing.

While that glue is good, the dang expansion/foaming issue is a problem sometimes.

I'd go with CA or 2 part epoxy and the longer the seting time the better the bond is supposed to be...gives you extra fudge time then too.
