how to glue photo etched parts

Some people soft solder the parts but that can be tricky on complex shapes. The most popular glue is cyanoacrylate glue. The really thin stuff is difficult to control but leaves less of a deposit when dry. Applying it with a cocktail stick helps. I tend to use a medium thickness glue.
