If you want compression strength, a good grade of epoxy (not hardware-store
stuff) will give you around 4,000 psi or, if it's 100% solids, a little
more. Cyanoacrylate is a fraction of that, and its adhesion isn't nearly as
good as properly applied epoxy. One-part polyurethane (Gorilla Glue) is
somewhere in between.


I worked on a project once which used a mind-boggling epoxy from
Armstrong to hold things together where we could not use bolts
(electrical conductivity would have been bad). It was a two part epoxy
which could be made more or less flexible by varying the ratio of parts
A and B, and required a long time (days) to cure at room temperature, or
a much shorter time at elevated temperatures. A12 sounds like it might
be the stuff:
