The epoxy is another route worth looking at. We already use an epoxy with the same PVC ans it bonds quite well. It will actually break away some of the PVC if you try to chip it off too fast. The main worry is the connector is a bayonet style and we have concerned end users may over tighten or not push inward when undoing them and force the connector to unscrew rather than disconnect.
You could always drill a hole in the back barrel and fill it with the plastic - and solvent. Melt the rod/hole into the threads by melting the small rod.

Oh -- multi-pin. Glass (light green) seal holding the pins, or dark brouwn soft rubber?
Three bayonet ears instead of two?
If so -- it sounds like one of the MS series connectors, which come both with solder cups (and a rubber strainer which is held in place by screwing onto the back of the connector body -- usually with a metal ring inside the shell), and with crimp-on pins, which are inserted from the back of the connector into the soft rubber pin separator/supporter.
If glass seal, and bare metal finish, it is for soldering onto the housing of hermetically sealed things like aircraft instruments.
But the thread at the back sounds like the ones made for as screw-on back shell -- with or without a cable clamp, depending. If so, that *should* have the rubber strainer through which each wire passes, and which is then squeezed down by the back shell and ring, to make a water-tight connection.
They used to be refrred to as "Bendix" connectors, but the line is now produced by Canon -- and some by Deutch and other companies. All at painful prices. :-)
If 6 pins, it should have moulded into the rubber separator some number endig nin "-6" -- the number being the diameter of the mounting hole in 16th of an inch IIRC. Maybe 32nds of an inch. I would have to dig back into the catalog to be sure. The whole shell should have a number staring with MS-??? which defines the style and shell size.
Good Luck, DoN.
No its not the Amphenol MS series. It's a 2 pin bayonet with a 1/2NF threaded back end. The internal connector parts look like the small Lemo stuff. It comes with flying leads potted in to the back end.
