Yep, but I think soldering iron won't grip enough: it's made to solder iron, which has a very different molecular structure to ABS. I'll do some more research.

Hareldite is good on plastic,

soldering iron is not much good for welding plastic,
Blow torch and a old thin pointed screwdriver works tho ive used the Gas cooker for heating screwdrivers up in the past

araldite
its good stuff yes, always worth a try when superglue fails
The soldering iron method, it can melt the plastic but ideally if your welding plastic together you need to feed in new plastic to help bond the two bits.

Bicomponent glues are good for plastics usually, but once open do not last long (listening to my near-home seller), and I don't want to spend 6€ for a single, 2mm², use.

I've never seen a screw so small it could be used on that tiny piece of plastic. I thought of it too but it's just too small.
