I've been using this stuff for years to stick bits of exterior trim
back on cars, but it has virtually no shelf life at all once you've
used a can once.
Does anyone know if this stuff can be bought in another form, say as a
two-part pack or something - or have any recommendation for an equally
tenacious and strong adhesive for quick and dirty work?


A good degrease and some high strength double sided tape works much
better on exterior trim.

If you really want something similar to expanding foam then Titebond
Polyurethane expands and sets in a similar way - but significantly
slower and as there is no butane/CO2 being injected into the PU there
is a much reduced chance of sticking a canoe to your staircase.

Excellent suggestions guys, I'll look into them.
Many thanks.
