EJ suggested applying the glue to the flange then placing the flange onto the spool.
But before exchanging e-mails with EJ... I had cleaned off the CA from my kit spool and flange as best I could (with nail polish remover, a toothbrush and a jewelers screwdriver), then placed the flange onto the spool, put CA on the end of a toothpick and let it flow from the toothpick into the joint between the two. That seemed to work pretty well, but the damage to the kit pieces was already done.
Anyway, I have a new flange & spool on the way. I just want to say again that the response from TOP & EJ was fast, courteous and I couldn't be happier with their level of service and support.
The rest of the build so far has gone very well and I am very pleased with the quality of the kit.
