On the back of the package it says it may not bond to this plastic but
it seems that in practice it works well; I tried to scrape it off and
could not and it has stopped the leak (put it on the inside last
night). Another member of the group has also used it and it worked
for him too.

If the Permatex stuff ends up falling off, I'll buy the other stuff
although it costs nearly 4x as much. Also, wiper fluid is not a
critical application anyway. The 3M product is made specifically for
the job and I probably would have gone that way initially had I
known. Thanks.

"May not bond"? Puh-leeze. What crooks. Like that aisle of junk they
sell you to pour into your radiator/crankcase/transmission/fuel/etc to fix
whatever serious problem is wrong. For a few bucks there are enough
suckers who just wanna believe.
You might have a mechanical lock with the epoxy that might hold up for a
while instead of a glued bond. Kind of like locking in a dental filling,
even though amalgam doesn't stick to tooth. Or maybe you don't have
polyethylene after all.
