Snippp..

there is an "epoxy" glue ( part A & B type ) that can adhere to PolyP
and PolyE  it is made for joining lexan plexi and poly carbonates. The
clincher is that it costs 480$ for the set ( about 16 ounces total) and
it takes 48 hours to cure. I will try to find the manufacturer and name
of the product and post it.
