This comes up every so often, but bears ongoing discussion. I use fast set, 2-part epoxy. Although it's a pain to work with, it seems to get the best results. I'm hoping someone else out there has worked with that but moved on to a better solution. Lemme know. |

Gorilla glue gel works well. |

In extreme cases I've joined the parts with the heated tip of a hobby knife… |

Gel superglue works OK, as does UHU. I also occasionally heat weld when all else fails, I have an elderly pyrogravure (a sort of soldering iron for plastic) left from when I used to do serious plastic modelling. |

I use white glue on one part and super glue on another. For example, put a drop of white glue on horse saddle and superglue on rider. This combination activates superglue immediately and in a few seconds parts glue together. Not a perfect solution as no glue works for soft plastics very well. |

My usual is uhu, but followed up by superglue if not strong enough. |

Hot glue and glue gun works better than anything I have ever used, including all the above mentioned. Its also best for gluing to clear acrylic bases. |

I forgot, I also use the PVA/superglue combo sometimes. That works pretty well. |

Seconding the hot glue. The temperature aspect and the sheer speed is better than anything. |
