Anything stronger than Super Glue or Epoxy?
The latch on my glovebox broke, so rather than buying a new one I seperated the inner plastic from the face part and fixed it. Now I need to glue it back together. Does anyone know of a glue for ABS with a strong bond that doesn't take 4 hours to set? Thanks in advance.

For stuff like that, I use regular 2 part epoxy in a tube for initial bonding, then use clay bar type(for lack of better description) 2 part epoxy to add mechanical strength. Clay bar type epoxy is much stronger than liquid/gel type when set. It can also be formed into shape without running, build up thickness, sanded, and painted.
