If it is PP and superglue comes unstuck, have a look at this guide:

It recommends Loctite 770 as an activator, which *appears to be*
basically n-heptane:

Thanks for that. There is also something called Scotch-Weld 2216 from
3M which is supposed to stick polypropylene and polyethelene. I have
ordered some, just in case the superglue comes unstuck.
