"May not bond"? Puh-leeze. What crooks. Like that aisle of junk they sell you to pour into your radiator/crankcase/transmission/fuel/etc to fix whatever serious problem is wrong. For a few bucks there are enough suckers who just wanna believe. You might have a mechanical lock with the epoxy that might hold up for a while instead of a glued bond. Kind of like locking in a dental filling, even though amalgam doesn't stick to tooth. Or maybe you don't have polyethylene after all. |
