RE: [OT notice] Glue for plastic to metal?

THINK they're PE, and easier to hot weld rather than glue/paste/cement,
right?

If they really are polyethylene, then...you're out of luck.  Solvents
(airplane glue) won't work at all.  PE melts around 180-190 and can be
welded to itself (i.e. to same-formula PE).  

Or pick a good epoxy.  IIRC Loctite has something they claim works on
PE,
although I suspect they're using a loose definition for "works".
