epoxy would be my first thought but it might be worth doing
a test first to make sure the epoxy doesn't 'melt' the pvc.

Sounds like a weird plumbing idea, of which I am a Wizard. Hercules ,( piping consumables manufacturer), sells a product which is a 2 part epoxy and will adhere to the inside surface of the tubing while not adversely affecting the exterior of the PVC . My plan would be...... First knurl the interior surface of the brass... Gouge the surface ..the rougher the better .... Do the same to the exterior of the PVC ..these processes can be accomplished in many ways..be innovative ! The interface fit should be sufficient that the two pieces slip together easily but do not wobble.Mix the epoxy,sclepe it on,put the two pieces together,let set up. Disclaimer.??? Many people use plumbing or piping products to solve many problems. Sometimes to their advantage ...sometimes not. I hope this plan could work for you,and it should ,but I don't know what your final application will be
good luck

Thanks Guys: The PVC lines the inside of the brass oar locks in my drift boat..... Schedule 80 was too thin,so I had to sand down a piece of schedule 40. I'll try the recommended epoxy and let you know how it goes.Steelheading here as soon as river goes down a bit. Sorry it wasn't some exotic artist metalsmith commission.

Good Morning, Eric
A bad day fishing is better than a good day working, ANYTIME!! Who cares if it is Steelhead, Minnows or Sharks.:):)
I don't know if Krazy-Glue would stick PVC to Brass or knot. What about making a three part bushing. Two with shoulders so one would be top and the other the bottom and a sleeve joining the two with the proper pvc cement. A little time in a lathe or using a drill press as a lathe. Just a thought.

Eric,
You might not need to glue it at all. Instead, cut the PVC a little long, heat it and "bell" it out on both sides of the oar lock.

No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why.
