It's not an adhesive, but it is a thermoplastic that melts at 140-150 F. It can be molded by hand like modeling clay and hardens to a very strong and fairly hard polymer. It adheres very well to itself while still soft. When it hardens they say it is machineable. A possible drawback for automotive use is that it melts at a relatively low temperature, so not suitable for use in an engine compartment or even in the passenger area in hot climates. To use it you heat a small container of water to 150, pour in a suitable quantity of pellets, then pick out the blob that forms with a table fork or such. Mold the blob with your fingers to the shape necessary for the repair. Excess can be torn off and returned to the container for future use.
It is clear when molten but hardens to white. They say it can be colored in various ways. All in all I think it is a very useful addition to the tool-boxes of the shoe-goo and microwave sheet-metal crowd.
