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."
