Default plastic eyeglass frames

Not exactly a home, but found in the home.

I have an pair of the original Revo sunglasses, the ones actually made
by layering dozens of color corrective laser grade coatings as
invented by an ex employee of a well known Silicon Valley laser
company. These are the real deal and are not replaceable, the
original company having been sold off to a hack Euro conglomerate
years ago. I really need to repair these glasses.

Anyway, I broke the cheapo frames while luckily doing no damage
to the lenses themselves. I need to repair them and am wondering if
anyone can recommend a good epoxy adhesive for this job. I was going
to use a Hardman Double-Bouble brand epoxy till I looked at their
application chart and saw that gluing plastics is not really their
forte.

Any advice?

Depends on the plastic. If it is something like acrylic or styrene
based, a drop of acetone, nail polish remover or PVC cement may work.
Be careful not to get these solvents on the lenses.
