I have been using "Shoe Goo" for 30 years. it sets overnight but full strength in about 2 days; I have found thousands of uses for the stuff.

It's almost like a mixture of airplane glue and silicone. My father didn't believe me until I showed him where I wiped the excess from my fingers and on the side of the kitchen sink. It's been there 2 years now, no prep, dirty sink and dirty fingers, yet it still stuck.

I am not thinking this would be the repair outlined above, kinda hard to see what I'm looking at.

But, it was a good time to share; Not "GOOP", "SHOE GOO" in a red tube. Amazing stuff...
