: Pick up a tube of Methyl Methacrylate for emergency repairs.

: I blew a "Leidy Lid" hook on the way to R2K1. I didn't have any
: quick cure epoxy along, so I used MM to glue it back on. Roughed up both
: surfaces, and used it just like epoxy.

My local hobby shop has gel type of Methyl Methacrylate. It's not like jelly though. It comes out very thick and can be put down as a bead. I had some polyurethane joints fail last week. I fixed them with the gel Methyl Methacrylate. The joints now are incredibly strong.
