I've had real good luck with a methyl methacrolate glue(2 part syringe set
up) from Devcon that Wal Mart sold for a while, discontinued, and is now
back on the shelves.  Like $2.27  for 25 ml.  3000# breaking strength.  Good
luck.  It sets up pretty quick so don't screw around.  Has 90% of it's
bonding strength in 30 minutes and you can accelerate the cure with
judicious use of a heat gun.   5 minute epoxy, among it's other weaknesses,
is not water proof.
