[Paddlewise] Polyethylene Adhesive: Loctite 3030

I have not tried this stuff yet, but a C-Dory power boater claims it has 
worked well for him in gluing polypropylene, polyethylene, and similar 
"slippery" thermoplastics, such as the ones roto-molded kayaks are made of. 
  Loctite's blurb on it:

"LOCTITE. 3030 Polyolefin Bonder enables manufacturers to expand their 
design options, boost productivity and improve product performance. This 
new 2-component, thixotropic acrylic adhesive eliminates mechanical 
fasteners, plastic welding, surface treatments, messy hot melt or 
solvent-based adhesives and primers. Our new 3030 Polyolefin Bonder sets 
quickly to let you get your product assembled and out the door faster and 
easier. Loctite. 3030 Polyolefin Bonder is designed primarily to bond many 
low energy substrates such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and can be 
used as a general-purpose adhesive on many other substrates."
