My front Gatorskin (28) has done 3500 miles+ over some awful city streets and country roads. It's had one puncture (from a direct edge hit on a massive shard of glass) but is otherwise absolutely pitted with cuts and holes, many of them millimiters wide / long, which have expanded over time.
I've never bothered glueing them, just tweezered out the glass and carried on.
E6000 was recommended to me; it's flexible so seems to work pretty well.
That said, if the carcass is damaged bin it!
wetsuit glue gets good reports
Copydex?
Here you go hope this helps.

There is some other type of glue that someone was on about recently, a kiwi if i remember, who went a little more indepth about it stating that superglue was too hard and didn't give so not the best i shall have a look for it in the forum and post the link.
Inflate to the pressure you run, then get a torch and spin the wheel slowly, looking for little nicks of glass, take the glass out and replace with a little super glue. It'll keep your tyres going a little longer.
Anything you can fit your pinky finger nail into, replace the tyre
