The only thing superglue works on is human skin.


It works better on plastic. It'll come off the skin in a couple of
days (with a layer or 2 of skin).


On plastic, it'll come apart when the object is bumped. It's really
brittle.

Acetone works a lot better for bonding plastic. It temporarily melts the
plastic and when it dries, you're left with a monolythic plastic structure.
