I’m trying to glue some pvc pipe to kydex (making shotgun cards).  I used clear Gorilla glue since it is all the rage right now.  Did not stay glued, pulled right off.  It’s the smooth side of the kydex if that matters. Any suggestions on what would work? Cyanoacrylate? Regular gorilla glue? Epoxy?  TIA

Two part plastic epoxy should work for you. Scuff up the part you are gluing a little too to help it bond.

E6000 is an amazingly tough flexible adhesive and it's available at your local big box store for a few dollars. I would try that first.

Scuffing the surfaces to be bonded is helpful no matter what glue is used...

Is that E-weld similar to Oatey pvc solvent?

You want a solvent that can melt both types of plastic.
