  Refering to my Regal plastic reference book, Polycarbonate (alias Lexan) is
a tough bird to bond.  There are several epoxies available though.  Hysol
epoxi-patch kits #EPK907, 1105, & 615 are listed as special epoxy for this
plastic.  Also Conap easypoxy kit #K-256 or K-45 is for the same plastic.  I
assume this is available at most plastic retailers such as Regal Plastics.
