Well. An update on this flashing adhesive... I glued a few solar lights back together... And stuck a few into location with this.. And found it doesn't stick to some plastics.. But metal and glass it will adhear to .. And has to be cut away from... Some plastics are just too smooth and oiled like for it to grip.. Given force
It does have unusual and remarkable strength unto it's self". And great ability to stretch .. I've reopened thousands of tubes of stuff over the years.. And never saw anything like it...pictured is the tapered spout at the end of the tube.. It had been used a few weeks ago... I grabbed the little dried bit at the end.. And started pulling it out... Since every bit in the spout is bigger than what is outside it usually doesn't,t come out.. But I kept pulling..stretching it... Making the set up large bit go through a smaller opening.".. It was 1/4 the size as what it did pass through.. Pulling...real hard mind you... Till the whole dried plug was out..it had even dried into the tube...as evidenced by the rings on the plug...where it sat against the opening to the spout and was an even larger section to pull out through the tip opening... Real strong...
