Hi:

    I recently tried TENAX+PLUS for glueing solid rubber cord to its
    metal findings. I wore the cord every day for several weeks, tugging
    on it when I thought about it. I wet it, pulled on it, bent it back
    and forth, hooked and unhooked (I used a lobster clasp) and in
    general gave it a rough time and so far it is still bonded tightly. 
    This was done strictly as a test before I use it on a finished piece.

    The packaging says "Water clear bonding". "Tenax+ Plus is designed
    to bond stones, ceramics, glass, porcelain, metals, wood, paper,
    cloth, rubber, vinyl and some plastics. Too much adhesive prevents
    bonding". It contains cyanoacrylate ester. 

    Now two weeks is not a conclusive test, but with the treatment I've
    given it, I'm pretty convinced that it's solidly bonded to its
    findings. As always, this is just my personal opinion, not a
    spokesperson for or connected with Tenax+Plus.
