Adhesives for plastic

I’m going to say that I don’t know much about plastics but there are a number of types that require a different glue. I was making sliding windows for the kid’s playhouse once and needed to bond pvc for a handle to plexiglass. The only thing I found that worked was pvc cement like for plumbing and electrical pipe. Doubt that will work here but like everything, identification of the plastic is 90% of the solution.
