Water kicks over cyanoacrylate very quickly but weakens the bond strength. This is because all cyanoacrylates are hydroscopic (break down in the presence of water during the cure process). As long as you are OK with the derated bond strength, then go ahead and use water as a accellerator.

I would think glue is OK, seeing that the BaneBots encoder kits tell you to glue, yes, GLUE, the encoder wheel to the shaft

Mhmmmm....

We once used an expanding polyurethane construction adhesive to make a flat mounting base for the old drill motors in the portable drill shell. Great stuff. PL brand Polyurethane Premium Construction adhesive in the yellow, red and black tube. They have several kinds, but this one is rated for all kinds of materials. I get it at Lowe's, I think. We didn't glue down the motor, just used the stuff as a bedding compound.
