JB weld bonds better to metal. Another vote for finding the proper epoxy. If their is a plastic code on the bottom shell you can Google it and see what epoxy will bond best.

despite the old ......one epoxy fits all approach of the old days......new materials require specific procedures......and you would hate for a repair to fail at the most inopportune time due to poor adhesive choice
