If you've designed the string drop angle correctly, say, with a scarfed headstock, then string pressure will hold the nut in place without any glue at all. Cut a slot to fit the nut into.
It's the only part of a CBG for which it's appropriate: Superglue (CA glue)! Sets quickly, and you can easily snap the nut back off by levering it with a knife. Wood glue would probably tear the wood if you needed to remove it.

Thanks bro
Oily
That design your talking about is never going to happen on one of my canjos. Made out of an old tin can and a stick.
I just use a drop or two of titebond

I think I've used everything from wood glue, to super glue to hide glue. So basically anything.
