I was in the hardware store this weekend buying some of that PVC cement
to patch vinyl drybags with--yep, PVC pipe and PVC drybags are the same
stuff--one is just a bit more flexible.

On the rack next to the PVC cement was some cement for PE
pipe--polyethylene is sometimes used for drain pipe.  It would probably
stick great to the plastic, but I couldn't tell you how well it would
stick to the minicell.  Maybe put PE cement on the boat, and
barge/shore/contact cement on the minicell and slam the two together.
