Cut a round hole on the dust collector body using a hole cutter and epoxy the moisture & dust bowl.
Use a high quality epoxy like JB Weld.
If the dust collector body is metal, you can also consider MIG welding.
But, that would make the job more time consuming, as you have to remove any paint on the welding area of the metal.
I think epoxy is the way to go.
