We need to cut them up and glue various pieces together for a bit
of a project, so my question is, does anyone know what plastic
these are made from so that we can get the correct glue for the
job?

Plastics like this are hard to glue. At a minimum, roughen up the
surface and degrease before gluing. Better is to flash a flame over
it too.

The effective way to join such plastic is to melt it together. You
can use molten offcuts like glue as long as you melt the surfaces to
be joined when applying it.


Hot glue is not a bad way to start
