Snake Oil Salesmen and suchlike....

...were definitely fewer in number at this year's show.

However, I was intrigued by the adhesive, claimed to be "industrial" which was being demonstrated by two stands - one clearly German and selling under the brand "Eurobond".

Yes I succumbed and bought a kit.

Now my question; does anyone know what this product is? It probably isn't iso-cyanate glue as the demonstrator was getting it on his hands and not glueing his fingers together. However, the accompanying leaflet warns against "skin contact and the danger of tissue bonding". Also the demonstrator put great stress on "excluding the air" to obtain a bond. It semed very effective and the butt joint I made between two ends of bungee cord could not be broken.

Haven’t opened my bottle yet.

I bought the ahesive/filler/cleaner kit from Eurobond and have succesfully used it to glue the 'handle' back onto the 'shaft' of a rather ornate key.

Appears to be made in (or marketed from) Austria, and it doesn't smell like superglue (which didn't work on the key).

No clues as to chemistry on the labelling.
