Hi Melody, hope this helps you out,
Loctite® Plastics Bonding System is a two-part cyanoacrylate adhesive that sets in seconds and develops tremendous strength with just one drop. The activator primes hard-to-bond surfaces such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Loctite® Super Glue Plastics Bonding System dries clear and sets without clamping.
Superglue made by Loctite should work.
Go to the craft section of Michaels or a Model store. [ the store that has model airplanes, cars, boats etc.] They sell CA glue which should work on the bottles.

It would depend on what you want to glue to it but you will probably need an epoxy that you mix to activate. Check at a hobby store for your best option.
You can use low temp hot glue.

Hello,
Have you thought to try fusing it by using heat of some sort! Maybe Iron, heat gun etc.
Not tried it myself but it will melt in an oven! What are you trying to make?
For these, the best glue is a poly cement such as Loctite Plastic Bonder.
An epoxy, two part glue will work
Polyethylene and polypropylene plastics are used in a number of packaging, shipping and production products, including plumbing fittings, bottles and automotive parts. These plastics are designed to take a beating and are generally chemically resistant. According to the Ridout Plastics Company, such chemically resistant materials cannot be glued, since the chemicals in the glue have no effect on the plastics. However, some model suppliers, hardware and home improvement stores or Internet retailers sell liquid plastic adhesive and primer that may be able to bond these plastics.
Would E 6000 work for your project?

perhaps checking out reviews and Q&A will help you decide if it might be suitable for your needs.
