I'm making a 3D printed figurine/trophy for my friend as a gift, and I need to glue together base and the figurine itself (it's a giant amongus). My question is: is something like an instant glue, or just regular glue good enough for PLA, or do I need to by some special one?

Plastruct has a few different variations but at least the Bond-2 Bondene Cement is a mixture of Dichloromethane and Methyl acetate (MSDS report), and Dichloromethane is one of the best solvents for PLA. It is also absolutely horrible stuff and you really need to be quite careful when handling it.
