They are difficult to bond because they have very stable chemical bonds that are short, strong and inert. These strong, stable, bonds are also why Teflon is slippery to the touch. This same slipperiness is why a ‘glue’ will not do the job.
What glue works on Teflon?
Permabond POP Primer and cyanoacrylate adhesive combination work well on PTFE. Brush the POP Primer onto the untreated PTFE surface before bonding with any of the Permabond cyanoacrylates.

Does epoxy bond to Teflon?
If the substrate’s surface energy is 30 dyne/cm or lower, epoxy adhesives do not adhere well. Some polymers, e.g. PTFE (Teflon) with surface energy = 19 dyne/cm, are difficult to bond with epoxy. The low surface energy results in poor wetting which means the adhesive does not spread easily over the surface.
