Repair question

Hello.

I am cleaning a student model plastic oboe for a friend. At some point long, long ago the reed well became hopelessly stuck to a reed and the reed well came out. The well was really thin metal and I couldn't think of a good way to get the reed out without damaging the metal.

Since rubbing alcohol removes old shellac I reasoned I would try soaking the stuck reed and reed well in rubbing alcohol overnight. The reed came out like magic!

So now my burning question is what adhesive to use to reattach the reed well? Should I use superglue or shellac or contact cement?

Thanks! Have a great weekend.
