Not a "welding" glue
I have written this review after using it to mend one hard plastic item.
Note that this is not a glue which "melts" the 2 plastic surfaces to form a "weld".
You let the glue go off until almost dry, after which it is like a tacky contact adhesive. This initially helps you to stick the 2 plastic surfaces together. The majority of the glue then evaporates and leaves behind what is like an epoxy bond. Consequently, you have to use a fair amount of glue because the majority evaporates off and you need quite a bit to make it strong (so bear this in mind).
For example, I only put it inside a thin break, but after 12 hours of drying, it was not strong enough. So I partially broke it again and put some more glue inside and on the outside of the break and it is stronger now. If I waggle the piece, the break still has a slight flex to it however.
On this example alone, it is comparable to Superglue as superglue would also have had difficulty in gluing the thin plastic break that I had without also being built up on the outside and it would likely also be susceptible to flexing.Read full review...

Not effective as a bonding agent
I bought this in the belief that like the original Evostik hard plastic superglue it would stick the kind of plastics shown on the packaging , wrong!. Bostiks Tech Support are under the impression that it is a cyanoacrylate adhesive , the glue in this tube is acetone or solvent based and is more like normal Bostik contact adhesive which is less than half the price of this productRead full review...

I assumed it meant a new laptop until I saw the advert and sdent for a tube It was delivered promptly and when applied according to the instructions it has set perfectly and my laptop is now working as good as new...................Many ThanksRead full review...

Not what it's cracked up to be
There are no pros unfortunately (at least not for the job I wanted it for) - though there may be pros for future tasks. The job in hand that I had is the reason for my above "NO" responses

Disappointing....
The most common plastics such as polypropylen (PP) and polyethelene (PE) are the most difficulty to find effective adhesives...
"Bostic" pioneered new generation "plastic adhesives" but this is apparently not at all one of those...
