My bad. My Celestaire case is an Underwater Kinetics unit, and UK's web
site claims they are ABS. 3M 5200 does not like ABS, Lexan, and some other
plastics. If you could screw a flat piece of ABS on the end of a wood
support rod, you might be able to use plumbing ABS cement to attach it to
the lid.
Pelican claims to be made of "copolymer polypropylene." Not sure what to
recommend there.
