This reminds me of the dental glue that has been in use since the 1980s. One of my teeth had been chipped since childhood, and the dentist noticed it and before doing a filling, he took about five minutes to mix the right color, and in seconds, he glued it in, cured it with a UV light, and its still stuck, decades later, still indistinguishable from the tooth itself. All he did was carve it to the right shape.
What I see as a use for this stuff is scratchbuilt plastic chassis. If its as tough as claimed, it will serve to solve the only thing that keeps us from building lightweight, solid or flexible plastic chassis that cost a fraction of the other materials we use. The ease of tooling plastic versus the limitations of standard shapes of brass alone is tempting.
