What is the best Glue/Adhesive for Plastics?

[Chadder007]

We have some buttons on some PCs they keep breaking off inside such as the power button. Who makes a good glue or adhesive that will hold the little plastic pieces together?

super glue or that plastic glue for models (like model airplanes)

Im using Testors Cement for Plastic. It says to let it dry for 2 hours, but after two hours i can place the button back on and it will break right back off. I guess Ill try leaving it to dry overnight to see if it hardens more so, gluing it again....

then use epoxy, 2 part epoxy works when all else fails

you can actually fill in missing sections of stuff with it

i used epoxy to glue the fuel outlet of my gas tank back on once (truck)

Plastic model glue ONLY works on polystyrene plastics. It doesn't work on anything else. Use super glue.
