Medium CA will glue up coroplast. You'll need to either flash the coro using a torch or a light sanding and then wipe it down with acetone or mineral spirits. Goop works real well too, only it takes overnight to completely setup.
These's some pretty good reading [link=http://chrisspad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147&highlight=gluing+coro]here[/link] on gluing coro if you want more info.
Hope this helps,

US AirCore no longer sells a "special" adhesive.
You can use regular non-flammable contact cement that you purchase in pint or quart cans at your local home center or hardware store. It's the same stuff you use to make Formica countertops. Just remember to use it in a well-ventilated area, and let it dry before you put the pieces together. Once they're together, they're stuck.
Also, if you make a mistake, you can use lacquer thinner and a regular table knife to take the pieces apart. Clean off the glue with the thinner, and re-glue. Other types of glue make mistakes permanent!
