I use Zap and Crazy Glue brands because that's what my local stores carry. I initially removed the excess glue after I installed my screw eyes, but now I leave it to act as a seat, to prevent "unscrewing" I also run the eyes in until the bottom of the eye make a small divot in the bait, that's filled by the excess glue. I haven't had an eye unscrew since I stated doing that. For bigger baits, like swimbaits, that have enough weight to provide leverage as a fish thrashes, I use Spro swivels for my hook hangers. The wire will break before the swivel comes out of the tight hole I drill. I seat those swivels in Crazy Glue, too.

Definitely worth the health risk reduction by going with water based paints. If you've mastered petroleum based painting with an airbrush then it seems to me learning to adjust to water based paints, thinning, air pressure adjustments, should be relatively easy for you than than it would be as a beginner painter. I would suggest looking at Createx products (created and auto-air water based). They have colors in opaque and transparent so you can turn out some cool stuff. Not the cheapest but it is good paint and a lot of guys use it. Also use the Search box on this forum (and on the internet for lure painting). Lots of info to absorb.
