Unexpected Tool For Gluing Cones Onto Surfaces

While building up some courage to tackle other projects, I started the spacecraft Osiris-Rex that is available to download here. The build features several cones that are edge glued together or to other parts. Having just finished another build with similar features I wasn't looking forward to holding those fiddly edges in place while waiting for the glue to dry.

Then I remembered a few acrylic bases I have for displaying decorative stone spheres. As you see in the pictures, the specific ones I have is a cone with a 3/4" hole on one side and a 1 1/4" hole on the other, nicely tapered to slip over a cone/part and apply good, distributed pressure. I'm sure any appropriate weight could be used. My obsidian and copper spheres applied gentle and firm pressure accordingly.

Anyhow, thought some of you might have struggled with an option as I did.
