Re: Dissimilar plastics cement
Permatex plastic weld for me; it's a two part epoxy-like adhesive that is immensely strong, is like plastic and holds tightly. I've used it for a variety of dissimilar plastics.

Re: Burnishing Chrome foil
I use foil adhesive tape, none of the polymer stuff. When I burnish, I use toothpics, an xacto ball-ended burnisher and steel wool to get it where it needs to go. and have gotten it around tight corners and into tight details as well.

Re: ALPS printer: how to stop white from flaking off
Try lightly buffing the decal paper with #0000 grade steel wool before printing. It could be the gloss surface is interfering with adhesion. You're not looking to remove the film; just make it a bit more "matte" for the ink to have enough purchase on it to stick.
