Hi Dan,

  I've had really good luck with Plumbers Goop.  You can find it in the 
adhesives/caulk section of Home Depot.  It sets up soft and pliable like 
caulk, but it holds on like mad.  Usually for me separating 2 bits of 
plastic glued together with that stuff involves a knife with a long, thin 
blade and lots of patience. It sets up overnight, and is simply tough as 
nails.

   Suppresses corona like silicon, holds as tight as superglue, and cleans 
up pretty easy.  Only drawbacks are price (it is a little expensive), takes 
overnight to cure, and the parts should be clamped together while it sets 
for the best bond.  I swear by the stuff.
