A piece came off of the hard plastic carpet attachment for our vacuum
cleaner. Since I cannot find the replacement part near where I live, I want
to try gluing the piece back on. Which glue do you recommend for the job?
Thanks.

the other guys here are all kinda right. first, if it is made of
PVC/vinyl, acrylic, phenolic, or polycarbonate plastic, superglue
(cyanoacryate) will work really well. if if is polypropylene it wont
work at all. model cement is ok but has no torsional strength. JB
weld is ok but takes too long to set. best bet is to set in position
with superglue (unless as above) and use a 2 part quickset epoxy for
support. the epoxy i use is a gel, has 5 minute work time (sets quick
after that), fully sets in one hour, and has 2500psi strength, about
$2.00 at local hardware - just not good for high temp stuff. goes on
clear too...
