Solved Alternate glues for FT Retro Rocket plywood parts?

I just got to the part of the fuselage build video of the Retro Rocket where Josh puts together the plywood parts for the removable wing mount with Zap CA. I don't have any CA on hand, but I do have Titebond wood glue and Gorilla glue, as well as Testors cement for wood that could also work on plywood.

Have any of you guys tried alternate adhesives like these for this part of your Retro Rocket? I'm hoping I won't have to wait for some CA to arrive, but I also don't want my wing to fall off so I thought I'd run it by the experts on this forum! :) One downside I can think of is the increased drying time, but since the mount seems to tab together I feel like I should be able to leave it if I need to.

Any thoughts?

I like using Clear Gorilla Glue (non-foaming) when I can wait for glue to cure. I find it works best when applied thin.

Any of the three you have will work me personally don`t care as much for CA as it is brittle, biggest with CA is time saved.

Titebond works great on wood and doesn't expand.
