Default Cool Shirt hose Repair

The large hose that is glued into the shirt manifold where the small tubes distribute into the shirt has come unglued. Does anyone know what type of glue can be used to re-glue this hose? I tried the search feature on this forum but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I used silicone on mine to plug up the leak. Worked pretty well.

I would rather not throw away a perfectly good shirt because the hose came unglued. The shirt is in perfect condition otherwise. I have reached out to Coolshirt to see if they can offer any help. I can't seem to find info on what type of tubing they use, so I'm being cautious to not melt/destroy the tubing with an incorrect glue choice.

Coolshirt responded to my inquiry and they recommend PVC cement. FYI for anyone with a similar situation.

It's probably flexible pvc tubing hence the cement (no need for primer)

got any pics as to what it looks like? Always wondered, trying to figure out a better hook up for my coolaclava
