Well, I finally tried it. My initial impression is
FAIL
Sort of....I took an old TPE insert, cut it and performed the application procedure on a clean, fresh cut. The bonding was instant. No chance for repositioning and getting the edges to line up. And the bond was absolute, not pulling it apart.
So what's the downside? The edges were hard, like superglue. The bond will hold under flex and stretching but with a hard edge that wouldn't go away. Not fun for an insert.
Undaunted, I attempted to fix the split taint on my WM 140. Slightly more difficult, as I needed to hold a sheet plastic barrier to prevent the accelerant from coating both sides when sprayed. For deep repairs on soft materials, they recommend waiting 24 hours for full cure, which I did.
Total failure. The adhesive only stuck to the side without accelerant, leaving a hard crust.
Fortunately, with some lube and patience, I was able to gently roll the dried bonder between my fingers, breaking it up and eventually working it free from the TPE.
I think this stuff would work for things like damaged elbows and knees, but not any orifices that one would plan on using.
It can work, it's just not the soft fix one would require for a sex doll.
