I have no experience with two part cement. The pvc-glue I use is a one
part cement, that holds on very well (ripping of a glued piece of pvc
will damage the surfaces badly). But: It is not heat resistant. While
heating the glued pvc to about 100 to 150 dgr. Celsius with an
hot-air-gun the patches (or keelstripes) will come off easily.

Sorry, but this will not work for pvc well (although it sticks together
to some extend).
