adhering paper to PET

Does anyone have any recommendations for gluing cardstock to PET (pop bottle) plastic?

If it's just a simple wrap-around job not contour-matching, what about double-sided tape?

I've heard others sing the praises of UHU glue, but can't find it. Any ideas for where to find in USA?

Also not familiar with Gem-Tac, but looked it up online. Now have to find a fabric store around here. Maybe Walmart.

I can't use tape because it's a rounded skylight, where eight semi-rounded petals come together into a dome. My model does this in blue paper but I wanted to see if I could copy it in green PET from a 7-up bottle.

Might try superglue.

you could print onto adhesive label stock large page size labels. staples has them, and then let dry and peel off the back and apply pieces to the plastic bottle.

I fund UHU glue at Hobby Lobby, and at Michael's.
