Malcolm,
I'm glad your bonding worked. A lot of times the area to be bonded can't be
marred by scraping or sanding. (finished appearance, etc) In your case, I
guess appearance was secondary to to getting the stuff bonded. Kim said the
Virgin variety of Polycarb was a special order item in most all places.

I've just tried this. It works!! The bond is as good as any I've seen.
I simply roughed up the surfaces with emery paper.
Many thanks,
