That all could have changed by now. However, I would be cautious about the bond created, as to it's depth and strength, considering the thickness of these yaks. But keep in mind, that an adhesive is just that, it sticks, but does not create a chemical bond, as a true glue does. (for those wanting to get technical, yes there are glues that adhere to pours and create a bond that way, but that does not apply to polyethylene).

It sticks, but it does not create a chemical bond, as such it is subject to releasing it's grip. This generally happens a little bit over time. I've used Goop in the past on poly, and after a few years, i could grab an edge and pull it lose; it did take some effort. Cleaning it up good and re-Gooping fixed it for a few more years. It's simply something that you need to keep an eye on from time to time.
