If it's acrylic, Weldon 16 will do the trick

Nothing against Weld On 16 but it's fairly thick and a bit slow to cure. Good gap filling qualities. If you need very close tolerances then go with Weld On 4 which is like water and cures quite quickly or go with #3 which cures very quick.
All will do the trick.

Weldon 4 is great if you can reassemble the pieces and then just wick in the glue with a needle and squeeze bottle.

There is a glue product out there that is called Gorilla glue. It is a polyurethane glue, the piece's to be glued have to be wet down, apply glue and clamp. best on the market I have used it on a odd ball fitting for my whole house RO system.

Good glue but the Polyurethane expands a lot. Has to be clamped very tightly.
