I just tried sticking it in with Superglue. It formed an incredibly
strong joint (much stronger than Araldite did). I just hope that the
2-stroke fuel won't weaken it.

Not unless it containsn nitromethane or acetone.

However CA comes in polythene bottles and its easy to break the dried
stuff away from it.


I have also used "liquid metal" to bond to polythene...it doesn't really
stick properly, but roughed up a bit first and forming a large fillet,
it ain't bad.
