That's crazy. PL Premium is an amazing adhesive and I have never come across something that I wasnt successful at bonding. I have only ever used the PL Construction, PL 9000 and No Nails - Wet Grab...
Is everything that you're bonding plastic, or are the casters metal? Did you try scuffing up the surface of each with sand paper to improve the bond and apply constant even pressure while the glue was drying?
Those totes are awesome, I got a dozen or so of em.
Use black mummy that's what we call it any way we use it to install or repair rubber roofs, it comes in a paint pucket.

This was the 1st time using the new PL (twice the price too) usually pl is so good I didn’t bother with prep .
This stuff I wouldn’t buy again.
I’m going to use an epoxy n drill holes in the casters to add bonding surface . I’m just not looking forward to cleaning the glue.
Thinking I’m going to use some JB plastic weld
Or the Dow 795 , Amazon has it .
.
Yeah I've used jb weld for a ton of stuff. It works pretty good but can be broken. I started working in manual labor at 12 years old.

Calk also needs sun to adhere to the surface or warmth at least like a hair dryer and let it set up over 24 hours.
If I was gonna mount those wheels on the bottom, I'd prolly fasten 4 square pieces of wood to each wheel. Make my lil holes in the container, then screw into the wood fastend with a nut. It'll last forever lol

There shouldn’t be much force once the bond is set .
The weight of the water is keeping the ones in place that came off .
I'd go with my above comment, easy to put 4 wood planks, one per wheel then screw directly into them from inside the container, then take that calk and go around each screw on the inside won't leak that way.
Walmart Lowe's, auto zone or anyplace like that has jb weld. Wood n screws way to go. But I'm sure Ull figure it out. Good luck.

Why not just mount the casters to a wood or metal frame then just set the buckets on that?
No glue just screws/or short carriage bolts. No mess, but a bit more work upfront.
Edit - you've probaply considered all of this.

I did
I didn’t leave a lot of space , it would make a tight space even tighter. I was just trying to keep it simple , a good glue will do the job , PL P would have worked , just this new stuff isn’t very good on plastic .
It’s not something I’m worried about, more like one of them things I’ll get to one day.
I just didn’t want someone seeing the 1st post n using the same stuff n having the same issues.

How 'bout you being the designated tester instead? Can you pop a few in a couple of weeks?
