If you anneal (heat treat) it supposedly changes the chemical makeup which allows adhesives to stick better. Ive done it glueing down starboard strips to the bottom/sides of my fuel tank. So far working. I too switched over to the Locktite brand available at the big box stores, less $$$ than 5200.

5200 WILL release from any polyethylene or polypropylene plastic. It just won't hold long-term. Use a plastic epoxy after flame treating/annealing, or choose a different type of plastic such as PVC.
