[Healeys] dentist epoxy for car restoration

[Bob Spidell]

Yep (only not dentist's epoxy).   JB Weld works pretty good, but there are epoxies especially formulated for plastic 
that work better (on plastic).  In some instances cyanoacrylates (i.e. 'crazy glue') work better on smooth surfaces, and 
I've had good results with Gorilla Glue, but epoxies are best if you need to build up a shape or fill a large gap (like 
in your teeth).  Usually, it helps to rough up the surfaces no matter which glue you use.

YMMV.
