I've tried to use my boat repair Gougeon Bros Epoxy($80/gal) on a pastic
clothes steamer and it didn't hold worth a crap.  You might want to try the
Devcon plastic welder that Wal mart sells for about $3 a syringe.  Or the
name brand version of  it clalled Plexus, both are methyl methacrolate based
adhesives and reported to have 3000# breaking strength.  Not sure what class
of plastic the disto tower is made of, but they aren't that expensive from
Wilfy, like under $40 or so.
