I highly recommend you use a plastic solvent type glue. It's liquid and you apply it with a little brush built into the cap. It's the greatest thing! It works by capillary action and a little bit goes a long way - merging the plastic together - and it dries very quickly. If you make a little mess, it evaporates!
The type I have is from Plastruct, but there are others like Ambroid available as well. I can't say enough good things about this stuff.

Not to mention that with plastic sovent glue, you have to go out of your way to glue your fingers togetherops:
ops:I like the Testor's solvent type cement in the diamond shaped bottle with the long spout. I can use the spout to "dribble" glue down the inside of a wall or corner out of sight, or just put a puddle on a piece of glass or sheet metal, and apply to small details with a tooth pick. I have found it will even cause the surrounding plastic to adhere to small brass grab irons and other details installed on cars and locomotives, if there is a pin on the detail to go through the shell.
This web site will be of help for everyone. It tells you what glue to use for any material.
