I know this is a weird question. When I flew home last, my curling iron was in one of my check-on bags and it broke in half. The wires are still good, not damaged and it still works. The only thing that is broken is the plastic casing between the metal part that heats up and the handle.
It was rather expensive and it is rather new. I'd like to get some more use out of it . Any ideas on a kind of glue that will work?
I already tried superglue, but it didn't work at all. In fact, it looked as if it melted the plastic.

There is a special epoxy that will bond hard plastics...check at the hardware store adhesives counter. Good luck. sincerely

From: www.thistothat.com
Plastic to Plastic
If you are gluing PVC plumbing pipes, we recommend:
PVC Adhesive
If you are gluing something else and your joint needs to be flexible use:
Household Goop
Otherwise, use:
LePage's 5 Minute Epoxy
LePage's Regular Minute Epoxy
Most other epoxies will work for this application also.
There are so many kinds of plastic its hard to give advice here that applies to them all. If possible try a small test in an area that doesn't show.
Some plastics have a smooth surface finish that can be sanded off with a 120 grit sand paper, for better adhering properties.

That's how the super-glues do work... it slightly melts the glue and then solidifies again.
The handle is going to be tricky because of the heat it's exposed to... the weld will constantly be expanding and contracting.
Is it possible to contact the manufacturer for another handle?
Overall that would be your best solution. Otherwise, you might try one of the other newer glues called Gorilla Glue... haven't tried it with heated surfaces but everything else has held so far.

I have used silicone caulking before. Put as much as you can under the mount (between the mount/car) where it will not be seen, wipe off all excess that squeezes out. Use a good tape (duct tape) to hold the mirror in place while the silicone dries up-to 24 hours

If Gorilla Glue doesn't work then nothing will!
