3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 Fast Cure white or black, it's thicker than tooth paste.
Clean gelcoat, sand gelcoat with anything, 120 is good. Tape it off. Don't make a mess. 5200 likes to get everywhere. Let is cure for a full 24 hours.
Permanent, not coming off, done. Forget all that other crazy crap.
You rubber skid will still fold over during a ground loop thus preventing your skid from spiking and sending the tail assembly cartwheeling off into Mrs. Cravits rose bushes... I have a 45 year history with this stuff.

Looking for suggestions on what bonding agent (and process, if needed, other than common sense cleaning and roughening) to use to reattach it.
Since it has to be able to break away in a ground loop, I assume there is an optimum (or even required) bonding strength?
I don't remember seeing this covered in my LS6 maintenance manual, but need to check it again; meanwhile, anyone have recent experience rebonding a tail skid?
Suggestions?
