White glue works well with alumnimun --> plastic but for the last two ones, they are a nice substitute but use it as your last resort cause they hold that much well.

Believe it or not satin varnish is also good for attaching pe to plastic. I used it to attach the pe zimmerit to my DML elefant and was impressed with the results.
