What is worse with superglue is when people buy cheapo, generic brands, thinking "that'll do" - my Dad bought one recently, it came out like a semi-sticky kinda gel liquid, took about an hr to set. Junk.

This is actually a really good tip for repairing plastic parts in general. Bicarbonate of Soda mixed with superglue creates a very hard, sandable, and strong filler.

And heating plastics, HDPE in particular, really aids in adhesion.  Try superglue on a milk carton, it falls off.  Heat the surface with a butane torch first, then try again :)

Try ashes, incense ashes,  better than baking soda.  Saw dust works too.  Finer the particle, the better it is.
