I broke my production director's personal Telex headset today.  This needs to be fixed tomorrow morning. 

Thinking of filling the hole with super glue, thereby preventing the earpiece from swiveling.  I just need the strongest hold possible in a very small amount of surface area. 

Need suggestions on which glue will work best.  Epoxy?  Regular superglue?  Any suggestions are welcome.

glue made for plastic eye-wear repair.  Available at many hardware stores and elsewhere.

"JB Weld" is good if small pieces of material are missing.

I have done this with a Telex headset with same problem, worked well.

Another vote for JB Weld. That stuff is amazing.

There is a type of superglue made for plastic - it may be made by Loctite. One bottle is the glue and the other thing is like a marker that has an activator in it. It's the only glue I've seen work on certain kinds of plastic. I got it at Lowes.

If you have a store around that sells models they will have a 2 part glue (glue and spray activator) it works great because you can put the glue on then get the part positioned right then spray the activator and its done! I used a bunch years back and it's no big deal if you get the activator on your hands. The activator makes the glue dry almost instantly.

My wife owns a custom frame shop and is often required to find the right adhesive to glue one thing to another.  She uses this site:
