*** Hello Standby,you are attempting the impossible with the adhesives that you are using,there is only one adhesive that is capable of sticking these two different types of material together,it is called 'Stabilit' and is made in Germany,it smells revolting but is used by the helicopter enthusiasts to stick different types of material to their helicopter shells,you will have to shop around for it,try Sussex model centre,Midland helicopters etc people like that,it comes in two parts but is not a conventional epoxy as such.
