Use regular super glue.

What the Prof. said...if you use irregular super glue things can get really messy. Eccch!

hey john, if it does work on polyethylene (the plastic 5 gallon pails etc are made of), let me know... nothing sticks to that stuff

hey Razor , have ya tried the Ambroid pro weld ? i think it's methylene chloride mostly and i know it'll stick acrylic ( not sure about PE though ) .

Ambroid?

beck,

Ambroid Pro-Weld is a liquid cement for styrene, ABS, etc.- if it's the stuff I've used (you might have another Ambroid product with which I'm unfamiliar). So I doubt it would work with vinyl or resin. Only cyanoacrylate (superglues) or epoxies will work on those plastics.

Back to Ambroid: I've been told that although it works fine for styrene-to-styrene and ABS-to-ABS bonds, it (like most other liquid solvent-type cements) won't bond styrene to ABS. The product of choice for that application is Plastruct's Plastic Weld.
