What is the brand that works the best.
It depends on what you're trying to do. I would use a very different glue for a crack versus a mounting tab that has broken off. Also any concerns about how visible the repair is would make a big difference in which product you choose.
A photo would be great.
I'm with terryb. Need a pic of the ramp and the area you want to repair. It really makes a difference if the ramp is clear, visible, etc..
Epoxy does not stick well to many plastics.
The two part "epoxy for plastics" has some solvents to help it get some grip.
You should also rough up the plastics (if possible) with sandpaper to give it some tooth.
Woven fiberglass tape can help reinforce the epoxy, it's in the drywall section of the HW store.

If you have a marine/boat store, you can usually get nice glass fiberglass cloth there in different weights.
