Does anyone know how to repair resin/plastic lawn furniture. My wife and I recently purchased some adirondack chairs, but our overweight neighbor decideed to use one as a ladder and cracked a leg on the chair. I have tried pvc pipe adhesive, but it does not adhere to the material the chair is made of. Any ideas?

I wouldn't bother with repair. It's probably polyethyline and ? so from a liability standpoint I'd replace. If you do manage to get it "stuck back together" and it comes "unstuck" when someone sits in it they could get hurt when it gives way. If your repair is what gives way then you're liable. I'd get a new chair.
