Went to Home Depot, what I have is indeed, PLAS-TEX®. I then went to the paint dept and asked them what was the best primer for plastic and she pointed out the "2X", even though it was cheaper ($3.98) than the others. I then spent an abnormal amount of time looking over their glue stock and decided on this one. This time it was the most expensive one ($5.47) for less than one ounce, but they say it sets in 30 seconds and cures in 30 minutes and bonds just about anything.
I put on my Dr. Nefario coat, goggles and gloves, found a few minions that were willing to help and proceeded to do some testing. The paint dries to the touch in 20 minutes and fully in 24 hours, but they recommend 5-7 days for maximum adhesion on plastic. Sorry Rust-Oleum, I have patience, but my minions start to get crazy after about two hours, so we'll start our experimenting with that in mind.
