Greenjacket--
You didn't say what kind of end use your kydex/cloth bond is to serve. I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on any adhesive to bond kydex to cloth if I were anticipating putting a load on that bond. In very limited testing, I found that glues tended to slough off the surface due to inadequate penetration.
I'd plan on stiching or riveting for strength.
If you wanted to bond kydex to kydex, then I imagine any sort of commonly available PVC glue would be fine.
If you simply want to attach cloth to the outside of your sheath, I would recommend using a PVC cleaning agent to first remove any sorts of residual oils that might interfere with excellent glue bond. You might even want to prescuff the kydex to increase the surface area available to the adhesive.
Following this prep, you could use one of the isocyanate or urethane type glues (ie Shoegoo or the like) to achieve bond.
I think Superglues (cyanoacrylates) and epoxies are going to be fairly useless here.
I'd welcome criticism!
