Wood – What adhesive/glue is best to join PVC pipe to MDF

gluepvcwood

I'm running a piece of 90mm diameter PVC pipe through a sheet of 20mm thick MDF. I've cut a hole the right diamater in the wood to fit the pipe through, and I'm wondering what the best glue would be to join the pipe in place.

I've been using liquid nails for the rest of the project but I'm not sure how well it will bond to the PVC. Should I use this, two part epoxy or something else?

It needs to be as strong as possible since the joint will be under a fair load.

Two part epoxy works well (maybe JB weld), just rough up the pvc a bit and clean it first. How much of a load are you talking about? If it is substantial, you may have to attach the PVC mechanically to the MDF.
