I've found Loctite 406 - superglue for plastics and rubber to be very good ,
I buy it locally in the UPVC window centre - costs about ?5 for a 20g
bottle - about $7.50 American.

Appears that Henkel own Loctite, above links may be of interest.

Subject: Non crap plastic glue
Since the archives are down, I can't search for
this, but I know its been
discussed here before.
Can anyone recommend a glue for plastic that doesn't suck. Testor's no
longer makes usable plastic model glue. The tube is labeled as "for
polystyrene or ABS plastic", but I think scotch tape would hold better
than this crap will.
SuperGlue (Krazy Glue, whatever the brand on that tube says) doesn't do
any better.
I've got a plastic push gear I'm trying to glue back together, and so far
three different glues haven't done squat! The last one I tried was some
brand of a super glue designed to fill gaps and bond most anything to
anything... yeah right! As soon as the gear was pushed, it snapped at the
glue line again (after letting it dry all weekend).
So what's a good plastic glue that I can buy, and where can I get it?!?
Damn parental groups worrying about kids glueing their eye lids shut have
ruined it for us all!
