We need to cut them up and glue various pieces together


They're generally polypropylene (look for a "PP" or a recycling triangle with
a "5" inside) if so, that's a difficult "low surface energy" plastic to glue,
search for e.g. 3M DP8010NS


Brilliant Andy, thanks, there is indeed a PP with a 5 inside the
triangle, so cheers.

.... and take Andy's comment about gluing it seriously. It's very
difficult stuff to glue. You can get glue to do it in fairly small
quantities, they tend to have an 'activator' that you have to paint
the surface with before gluing.
