Hi If you stuggling to make metal stick to plastic scatch the surface of the plastic it may have a mold release on it so if you scratch it it will give the glue someting to key to .I always use superglue and havnt had any problems .

Just got back from a whizz around France:

To say that it is welded on would be a slight overstatement, but it is certainly stronger than any of the glues that I had previously tried. I would hazard a guess that JB Weld would make a better job of it?
