Superglue is a no no, it will cause the envelope to crack. I have repaired lots of anode caps with araldite, it was recommended to me by ex trade. I've used it on many CRT base's too, all successful.
The last valve anode cap I did was for a PL36 line output valve for a PAM521F TV, it's still working fine. The last CRT base was last week when I repaired an old Mullard CRT base to the neck,that has spent 10 years in a garden
The trick is not to apply lashings, it does not need it as it provides such a good bond, do it sparingly. I use a cocktail stick it allows me to apply a thin controlled line of the adhesive.
