rough it up really good before you try to glue to it and then clean with acetone. You may want to build some sub structure inside for strength.

I thought I had a pretty good handle on the adhesives out there. Your post led to this info on the Loctite website. Pretty good specific and general information for anyone. Thanks for the post.
