2. Cure within seconds or 1-3 minutes
3 Small bottle, no two part adhesive ( has to be used by field service)

Also would it matter if the surfruce finish on th eplastic is rough or smooth?

Have a suitable peel-and-stick PSA sheet die-cut to your shape. Maybe even have it pre-applied to one of the parts.

http://www.precoinc.com/markets/psa.html is one of many vendors.

PC is _not_ compatible with nearly all common solvents/ adhesives/ household chemicals.

It does, however, work pretty well in a snap-fit joint.

From here, we can't see your assembly, so you will have to figure out if that's part of a viable solution to your problem.
