I can tell you what I used to use for styrene to wood or paper on
competition model rockets.  Mix up a 50-50 mix of Ambroid and tube-type 
plastic cement.  The joint is pretty secure, but will flex like chewing
gum if twisted, so after two applications of the stuff I would run a small
skin of five-minute epoxy on it to stiffen the joint.  These joints are
solid -- I once had a 3/16" styrene fin tear in half (rather than tearing 
off at the glue joint) when it clipped an overhead obstruction at launch.
