Strongest adhesive to permanently bond plastic?
Working on a project and I need to bond 2 pieces of hard plastic together permanently that's cold and heat resistance. What do you guys recommend? Some type of epoxy or will super glue work?

The stuff I use is about the consistency of water and actually melts the 2 surfaces to bond them seamlessly. It's meant for clear acrylic but works flawlessly on most surfaces because it seeps in. I think it's made by 3M but I get it through a business contact who buys gallons of it at a time wholesale. I'll edit this later once I have the name and a link.
What kind of material I should ask as well? It may differentiate, though mine has work for everything I have tested with to date.
edit:
I stand corrected, it's not 3M.
SCigrip 4 Acrylic Solvent Cement:

It's designed for acrylic but I have used it with all kind of plastics including my 3d prints (PLA Plastics.)
Fun tip: you can also take a small sample of this fluid, add some plastic shavings in a syringe and make a tacky, viscus, deliverable plastic for mold injection or stronger borders on welded seams.
