White glue, if you want extra strength you can get carpenter's glue, basically the same stuff but with a bit more oomph. Regular polystyrene cement won't do the job because it works by actually melting the plastic and welding it together. There are some CA glues that are formulated to work on porous materials like wood and leather, but I've never tried them so you're on your own there. Good luck!

Epoxy glues should give a good, strong & (generally) waterproof result..... Basically like joining things with resin.
