I don't have those particular guns but I use the two part "All Plastics" glues for everything now, including the rubbery plastic. I find I can break the bond if I want to but it doesn't just fall apart by itself.

These are the packs that have a tube of cyanoacrylate super glue and an activator pen containing n-heptane. I think the Loctite product below is the original but there are cheaper brands that are exactly the same stuff (Selleys in Australia).

That rubbery plastic was supposed to be formulated to work with ordinary polysyrene cement but I haven't tried it.
