Okay, I found some solvent glue from a couple years ago when I had to fix a broken Lucite owl. Will this work, pic attached. Or how about the link to J-B clearweld. Will that one work?
That Acrylic glue in the blue tube is not suitable (I have that one in my arsenal of glues, it has other applications) Also, I recommend 24Hr epoxy resin, not 5 min epoxy resin. The 5 minute resin (of any brand I have every tried) never cures nearly as hard as the 24 Hr resin and is also not suited to the task if you want a strong bond. I only use the 5min resin if its possible that I have to undo the bond in the future for some reason.
But clearly you want to try this out for yourself. If you spend some years experimenting with glues, you will become very familiar with all of them and then be able to select the better one for the task at hand.
This is the common 24Hr cure resin we use in AU is called Araldite (but avoid the 5min versions), (JB weld will have a similar product):
