You're right about only the first few...

The key is surface area. You need enough area for the glue to resist being
pried away.
It comes in a ratio pack tube without a plunger, so you really need the
dispenser gun to get a good mix.

It adds a lot to the initial cost, so it is best if have more than a little
bit of gluing to do.

You can try mixing by eye, but I suggest using one of their slower setting
formulation (406-19 has a working time of
6-10 min).
