I next tried acetone on both surfaces, waited a few seconds and then forced them together for 5 minutes with mild finger pressure. It seems to have worked, at least long enough to get the assembly together. The process of assembly was actually the stress factor, so it will hopefully remain functional in place. At least until I have to take it apart and reassemble it. ;-)
