Looking for a good adhesive for gluing plastic onto
fiberglass poles. The one I used is coming loose.

Not epoxy?

I recently used 3m 5200 Fast Cure for some aluminum on polymer.

How about JB Weld? I used that stuff to 'glue' some aluminum rods together to fashion a support arm for a small windsock. Darn stuff is still holding together and it has been many years, outside, in the elements.

Superior to any epoxy for plastics and such.  Great for dissimilar materials.

E6000  or  Aleene's Platinum Bond 7800

Found in hobby, craft, hardware stores.  Walmart craft department.

This adhesive is very slightly flexible, but not mushy like silicone.  The slight flexibility helps keep the joint from breaking like
harder, more brittle adhesives such as epoxy.

3M 5200 will not let you down.

Truth. Once set, it will peel the gelcoat right off of a boat if you are trying to remove something attached to it with 5200.

Thanks. I have an antenna mast of fiberglass poles with plastic clamps on
them. I think the weather is making the glue that holds the clamps on

deteriorate.
