Bought a lot of Gougeon epoxy in my youth. Great for
encapsulating wood and fabric.  Boat still going
strong into 3rd decade, thank you. Sticks to concrete,
too.
Would a plastic welder using hot air be practical?
Otherwise, have a local artisan braze up a steel or
aluminum tube copy.
When I buy a MIG welder I am going to mass produce a
bunch of stainless steel coolant distributors and sell
'em to you so I can retire wealthy. You will routinely
carry them as spares, wear them as jewelry, etc.
