Perfect logic, but the fact remains that there isn't a glue for
poly[ethyl]ene, which isn't a million miles different from ptfe, the
non-stick frying-pan stuff. It's always joined by welding. [...]

``Polyethylene and polypropylene and nylon are pretty difficult,
because they do not have any pores, and almost no solvents can dissolve
them. Only soft, rubbery solvent-drying glues can work, because glues
can only hang onto the plastic by wetting its surface.''

``8005 - Scotch-Weld? Structural Plastic Adhesive
Two-part structural acrylic-based adhesive (10:1 mix ratio by volume),
that can structurally bond many grades of polyethylene, polypropylene,
and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE's) without any surface preparation at
room temperature.''
