Hi guys. I just found superglue (Loctite) that doesn't whitening the spot (resin plastic) that you are gluing.
Also dries clear and doesn't smell bad or eyes/nose irritating. Ohh and there is 20-30 seconds before it hardens, so you got enough time to adjust the part.
Its very important that the spot/part you are gluing is clean.
Before you apply it on your dicast, try to test it on some spare/junk parts, just to be sure. I did not try it on clear plastic, so be careful. Cheers.

I gave up using any gel glue after the first try. It got stuck n the nozzle and I had to use a suitable diameter hand drill to clear it. When it happened the second time, the tube went straight into the bin. The regular thin variety also suffers from this, although not to anything like the same degree. I am considering buying the 3 pack 1ml. option instead.......

If you store the tube in vertical position with the cap tightly closed, it will never happen. You must be storing it horizontally, that's why it got stuck in the nozzle. Trust me, doing this for years and no such an issue.
