Heat resistant glue

I know a quick Google will give me plenty of options, but I'm looking to see if anyone here can give me practical experiences as well please?

I need to glue plastic to plastic on an air fryer bucket, all parts will be external, but need something that will withstand over 200°C, what would you recommend /avoid?

I've used Araldite, parts on oven door, but they don't recommend it for above 200°c.

Have you considered plastic welding? The temperature to achieve that is higher than 200°C.

Araldite Rapid my experience in 1978. In my Laundromat we were oil fired with a huge boiler generating hot water and steam for my driers. I had a sight glass to check the level of the water in the boiler at 20 psi. I used Araldite Rapid to seal a leak between the sight glass and its holder. It never leaked but when the boiler inspector told me it needed replacement I changed for a new sight glass. I can recommend Araldite Rapid.

As others have said epoxy is good for the job.

JB Weld do a high heat two part epoxy rated to 260°C.

I'd say that will do the trick - it comes as a putty or as a syringe depending on your use case.

Thanks everyone.

I was thinking of some kind of two part as there's stuff at work that we use regularly, that needs direct heat from a paint stripping gun to melt it so I'll have a look at what that's rated for first, then go for the JB Weld if needed.

JB Weld is ok if you have a heavily keyed area, but not good on smooth surfaces. You might have to roughen up what you are joining or even score some valleys into it.
