Minicell will last, and Ensolite will die, for sure.   Joe's glue recs are 
right on, also.  If you use Weldwood, get the __red__ can, which is 
solvent-based, and roughen the surfaces.  I have minicell joined with this 
going on 8 years!

One good source:  http://www.oneoceankayaks.com/Material.htm#mincelanch  You 
probably want the L200.
