[QUOTE="CRS, post: 497469, member: 21726"] HDPE AKA milk bottles. Like most plastic surface adhering epoxy and glue are not reliable. The suggestion of drilling holes is a good suggestion. I would go a step farther and use a die grinder to undercut the holes or counter bore them and add some stainless screws so the epoxy would form around the heads making a mechanical bond. On my boat I used a slab of HDPE and screwed it to the hull, I used silicone around each screw and the perimeter of the slab a double row. Years of service, still tight and zero leaks. [/QUOTE]
