My recommended and favorite patch material is MarineTex.

that stuff is like 'permanent' .
Plastics are always challenging of course.

recently I marine texed an aluminum oil pan ..
where the first attempt with JB weld only sorta worked.

I love WestSystem epoxy.
I mix teak sawdust into it ....that will patch concrete even.
