The results of my experiments:
Model cement did not adhere well, but the new glue worked fine. When they say, "Bonds virtually anything", they're not kidding, fingers, tools, working surfaces all joined as one now.
Moving on to the paint, acrylics scratched off easily without the primer. I sprayed the primer on a test piece and after two hours, it adhered just fine. Painting over the primer kept the acrylics from scratching or flaking, just that the darker grey bled through on most acrylics, even a white undercoat did not cure that completely. Either I use dark colors or try to find a lighter primer.
Again, I thank you all for your comments, they did get me pointed in the right direction.
