Anyone Used Gorilla Glue On TPU?
I have not gone the TPU route yet but the size and portability of the TPU tubes is quite inviting. It would appear that repair of flats in TPU can be a bugger. Many of the commercial flat fix kits for TPU have a history of failure unless put on under ideal conditions. I have been looking a round for a suitable portable glue for TPU specifically. There are a few and some of them are not only expensive but dangerous.
Has anyone used Gorilla Glue for repairing TPU tubes? And what technique did you use?
Note: If any of ya all have old trashed TPU tubes I can experiment with let me know. Ill pay the shipping.

I have 100% success rate with schwalbe and park glueless patch kits one has over 3000 miles with no leaking. I am a bumbling drunk and have no issues patching tpu tubes. The patch with over 3000 miles is over a pretty big hole made by a sharp stick.
