My personal favorite for gluing anything is Accra-Glass from Brownell's. As long as you clean the surfaces prior to applying it, I don't think theres anything that it won't bond.
The other good points for Accra-Glass versus normal "epoxies" are as follows...
-Accra-Glass is truely water-proof, even the two ton expoy from devcon which claims to be water-proof is not.
-Accra-Glass has a 10 year shelf life, and a 50 year hold life.(meaning that you can have an opened bottle of resin or hardener on your shelf for 10 years and still use it, and once it's mixed/set, it will not begin to break down for 50 years) Devcon type epoxies have a 6 month shelf life (from date of production), and only a 5 year hold life.
- I've experiemented with Accra-Glass by gluing handles on hidden tangs and then once they set up, have taken a hammer to the handle. I can bust the handle materal away, but the wad of Accra-Glass stays on the tang......about the only way to remove it is to either grind it, or burn it off.
