Not much, except that it sounds like the monomer for polymethylmethacrylate
(aka Lucite, Plexiglas -- both trademarks), would be similar in action to
cyanoacrylate glues (aka "super glue"), and probably about as strong as
Plexiglas.  

Could be it is "methylmethacrylate?"

Sure did.  Sounds like you have a system that makes Carbonlite
field-repairable.  I'm impressed with the use you have made of the Eddyline
repair system.

Thanks, Harold, for the authoritative response.
