Just bring the adhesive on the plane and use acetone that is available here.

Hey...down there, you can find PVC glue. This will work perfectly. This glue is used for that white plastic pipe....

Lopez Marine in La Paz has the adhesive and the toluene that you need.

The hardware store is on the main street before you get right down town.They had many tins of chemicals which I was supprised to see in such a place.This store is on the right going into town,perhaps a fellow Nomad could check Good luck

Dont bother checking it in your luggage. A friend was bringing us some that plastic weld stuff to repair the spigot on one of our tenacas, and when he got here and opened his luggage there was a note saying that it was a banded chemical and had been confiscated.
He flew out of Oakland if that matters.
