> 3 dayI purchased this product (Loctite High Strength Acrylic Adhesive) to mend some torn backpacks that I have worn out (ripped) through extensive use. Previously, I had used quick setting (5-minute) Epoxy to rebond the torn seams. However, when looking for a replacement, I noticed that the epoxy did not say that it was suited for fabrics, whereas the Loctite Acrylic was. Since the cost was fairly reasonable considering its advertised features (on the package), it seemed like a good risk. The adhesive is very low odor, especially compared to the epoxy. I have had trouble finding information on its tensile strength (at a right angle to the plane of the bond), but the shear strength (parallel to the plane of the bond) seems fairly high. To be on the safe side, I try to arrange the joints so that a shearing force is applied, rather than tension. The instructions say to coat both surfaces of the joint before bonding, then wait 5 minutes before uniting them. I often forget about the project for up to fifteen minutes, but have not noticed any decrease in performance, which is still only minimally tested. So far, I am quite pleased with this product. This review may be updated later when additional real-life testing has proven (or disproven) its claimed performance.

> 3 dayMy first task for this epoxy was the restoration of a heating stone for use in microwave ovens. These are used to keep the bottoms of food serving vessels warm for longer periods on the table. Mine consists of a plastic carrying frame (cracked), holding a one-inch thick granite heating stone. The plastic had cracked when dropped. My search phrase on the Net was “high temperature epoxy”. You have to really be careful about using more than one descriptor in your search phrases! I tested the repair in the microwave, measuring the resulting temperature with a laser thermometer. The assembly hit 300+ degrees, and the epoxy got gooey. O.K., my bad. Subsequent LOW TEMP uses of this epoxy have been quite satisfactory. Like all Loctite products I have ever used, this one perform very well, WHEN USED AS INTENDED. You can’t go wrong with it.....outside the microwave.
