Interesting you should mention Loctite Glass Bond Mike, it's a product I have used over the decades with great success.

Does it still exist though? I've been looking for it for a while.

Just to be clear, this is an empty tube of the product I mean.

Searches for Loctite Glass Bond seem only to find a product called "Loctite Super Glue Glass", which can't be the same product, for one thing GB needs UV light to cure and SGG does not.
