You need an etchant containing a strong sodium hydroxide, ammonia and
tetrahydrofuran, which will remove the outer fluorine atoms, leaving an
electrically charged surface that will bond to adhesives. However, this
is a very toxic, caustic, really nasty stuff and your H&S guys will
baulk at its use, after the first operator drops dead! In addition, I
think that removing the residues after etching and before glueing will
be electrically ultra-problematic.
I would suggest that mechanically abrading would really be your best
compromise, hopefully providing a key to a low-viscosity solvent-free epoxy.

We've used it to bond Teflon to aluminum for decades. Don't know if it works on epoxy/resin boards but as it can bind Teflon to Teflon (another app we have a requirement for) give them a call to see what they recommend.
