As virtually all plastic is oil based my recommendation is for a slow set epoxy. (the 24 hour kind). I base this on recommendations from Radio Contol airplane model building. The consensus there is that the slower setting epoxy has a better bite than the 5 or 15 minute type when used on plastics or GRP (glass reinforced plastic).

I used JB Weld. It has a higher temperature range than regular epoxy, although I don't recall what they spec.

Has worked well.
