Material pair

Polypropylene (PP) to Polypropylene (PP)

Best bet

Plastic bonding system (primer + CA)

The activator primes PP's waxy surface so the adhesive can grip — the one common product made for this.

Preparation

Prep each side differently

Polypropylene (PP)

Wash and dry — then stop: no amount of scuffing makes ordinary glue stick to PP.
