I've used both products. In my previous life, I was an industrial
control contractor in food packaging plants. We used the Loctite stuff.
to stick polyurethane conveyor belts together as in a spliced loop.
These belts ran at 2-300 ft per minute in a wet, oily, washdown
environment (salad oil bottling plant) for months without a break. It
was extremely expensive and the supply room checked it out and in. The
clerk used to chase me down when I forgot to return the splice kit.
The "cyanopoxy" stuff was used to build up delrin and teflon conveyor
gudes when they wore through, until new ones could be machined out of
block stock. I know it would stick a teflon gear together and would
probably be stronger than the original gear. Just be careful and don't
stick your fingers to the gear. You will have to remove the skin with a
single edge razor blade...don't ask, trust me on this one. I can't
remember how much it costs, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap.
