Gluing polycarbonate?

Hi,

I "finally" got my little coil wound:

The new little winder and speed and torque controller work perfectly ;-))

About a thirty minute job, but the wire spool needs a bit of a 
tension take up cushion thing like those old 1960's tape drives had 
:o))  I could just "grab" the wire if anything went wrong and it 
gracefully stopped for the fix.

I did replace the counter switch with a magnetic security window 
alarm switch from Radio Shack.

I drilled a collar to fit the long 1/4 inch magnet and made a little 
holder for the enclosed reed switch.  They only way to go there!!

I should replace the counter with one of these:

DK# Z186-ND needs no external power to count has a switch to reset so 
it is super simple.  But what I got now works fine...

So the question is...  I have a polycarbonate tube and internal and caps:

What sort of glue will mate them???  I hear "super glue" reacts bad 
with water in polycarb to make it all frosty.  Many things "don't 
stick".  I am thinking epoxy or "gorilla glue".  Rather not use 
anything that has a terrible smell since it is indoors...

I got the Envirotex Lite ready to go to coat it now.  I made a little 
test thing and it looks great.  Cool how a little "breath" or CO2 off 
a propane torch "boils" the bubbles out.  I bet a little dry ice near 
by would work good too...  It has zero to do with heat but is rather 
some odd chemical reaction with CO2 that breaks the bubbles.

Cheers,
