Hi Mark,

    Now knowing this I doubt that any of the adhesives we have talked
    about would hold up for long. In this situation, if you were going
    for adhesive only, I would recommend you looking at the polyurethane
    adhesives - something like 'Gorilla glue' which is obtainable from
    woodworking suppliers or maybe one of the indutsrial structural
    adhesives and not worrying too much about future repairs.
    Alternatively, could you maybe create some form of mechanical
    locking between the parts such as dovetail joints then one of the
    'harder' adhesives might work. 

Best wishes,
Ian
