Beyond Super Glue is the claim.
Came across it in the local engineers supplies shop and it would seem to have a host of uses. Impressive video on the site.

I have used this product extensively, from repairing moving flexible parts like plastic indicator return lugs, to parts like sails, marine engine and gearbox casings, engine parts, etc,

Used correctly the repair should be stronger than before, Thus never break again in the same spot,

In conjuction with SELLEYS 'Knead it' (comes in many application types)
This ones aquatic



You will have a very versitile on the spot repair kit,(That fits in your pocket)
And will cost less than $30
Enabling you to use and join different materials in just minutes,
fabricating your own parts without tools

I never leave home without it,
Mind you this is a temporary repair,
And you should always replace the repaired part with a new one at the first given oppurtunity

As I stated, it should only be used for temporary repairs, And used correctly the repair should be stronger than before, some materials it works better on than others,
I have a mercedes sprinter with a broken heater control unit, all the lugs for the cables were broken off, and the indicator return was Also broken,(all plastic)
I used q bond on all repairs, Its been 4 years now, and they still work fine,
I drive it regularly every day,
Is it possible you got old stock, and the catalyst was off,
or maybe the materials were not 100% compatable,
then there's the matter of whether the materials to be repaired were free from grease and oil, even as little as a finger print from touching the surface to be repaired can cause a weak bond,
Thorough cleaning is a vital part of the process,
Sorry you had a bad experience,
I have repaired a cracked gearbox on a suzuki out board, and will post a pic of the repair tommorow
At a guess its done about 40 hours run time in salt water since repairing, and is still holding fine.
No water in, no oil out, no separation

Got ripped off with the Q bond at an industrial fair.
the welding powder was basically a fine silica filler, all the joints eventually failed, and the ** eventually dried out.
bloody rubbish, but be my guest , ignore me and get ripped off yourself
