There are a few plastics that GOOP does not stick to. But rough 'em up with some 90 grit and it'll stick just fine. Chemical versus chemical (different glues) and all bets are off. I just soldered (8) AA alkaline batteries series parallel (3.0 volts) and made an emergency bedside "Flip The Switch When It's Pitch Black" single white LED nightlight. No resistors to eat power and do nothing. After this little puppy lights up I can grope for the battery powered emergency lighting switches. When they light up, I can switch the BiPAP, light off the Fantastic Endless breeze and go back to sleep.
I used GOOP to glob the AA batteries together, hold down the wires, and affix the LED in its bezel.
Now I need to dig into "The Toughest Name In Tools" 190 LED rechargeable lantern and find out what quit. It has multiple (2) stage recharging and the float, ain't. The NiMH batteries go flat after 2 weeks if the lantern is left on FLOAT with the green LED burning. So I have it hooked to my 120 volt nightlight buss. It recharges, but I am getting ready to "serious" the battery pack, maybe with Lithium Ion 10 or so amp hours. Everything has to come from the states of course.
