A lot of us have learned that West Systems Gflex epoxy is very effective at bonding/repairing plastic. Here is a link to an article I just read in Epoxy Works about flame treating the plastic before applying epoxy. Very interesting. The article states it improves the bonding. Seems easy enough. Might be useful to those faced with repairs to plastic water tanks and such.
