Sorry, I don't have the brand name or particular contents available right now.....I carry in my van a 3M spray adhesive "SUPER 77." The can needs almost constant agitation but is my next best choice for field repairs. I always spend the time it takes to prep the surfaces, glue on both pieces, and I have had no failures so far. I recently tried PVC-E glue in the shop and it allows for some adjustment time and seems to work OK!.... it seems to work just fine when bonding the two types of materials. Hope this helps David Chadwick Las Vegas
