Default Best plastic glue?

I had a piece fall off my super high quality (joke) CF Porsche sift ****.

I can glue the piece back on rather than replace the ****. It's a silver piece not CF.

Whats the best glue to use? It's a piece forward to the dash on the top of the **** so it's out of eyesight. But it needs to dry flush and clear. Suggestions?

Thank you!

I always use two part epoxy to glue plastic. It's probably overkill but it sticks just about anything to anything and I can never get superglue to work as well..

Did a search on this some time ago (there's a Utube video somewhere). Results were - Epoxy 3m ec2216.

JB Weld epoxy is your best bet for simple solution. Lookup on amazon the kind that will work best for you.

I have had good luck with Gorilla super glue. Just use a little bit. More is not better in this case.

You can never go wrong with a 2 part epoxy either.

For plastic, get Testors Model Glue... You know, the stuff you used to assemble car models as a kid...

I have tried everything, from epoxy, to superglue, to JB weld, to concoctions that claim to fuse the plastic...

Testors always seems to work on any plastic. It dissolves it, and melts it together...
