I think you are talking about Eastman 910. I first saw it used to glue strain gages to wind tunnel balances about 40 years ago. I swiped some from our instrument lab to glue vortex generators to the wall of a small research wind tunnel. Strong stuff. I glued some small wood vortex generators to steel walls and they stood up to several hours of testing at speeds up to Mach 1. Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
