should be, well, mating. Polyurethane glue foams to fill minor surface

Thats what the cartridge said too, but it wasnt my experience. When wet
it got a lot weaker, and pulled apart fairly easily.

Interesting. I've used it for some time without problems. But I'll
examine some now you've both pointed this out.

Maybe your observation is just as valid. Real world perforance is going
to depend on wetness, with constant immersion (mine was on wet ground)
vs rain vs sheltered. There are also the qs of the consequences of
failure, eg structural vs decorative, and of how much reliability youre
looking for.
