So………..
I had some extra slide seal left over from replacing the bedroom slide. I used the same Loctite as above and butt spliced two pieces together. That was last year. I chucked one end in the vise and pulled as hard as a could with pliers on the other end. I could not pull it apart or even cause a visible failure.
I left it in the Florida sun all summer while we traveled to see if UV would impact the glue.. I tried the vise/pliers exercise again when we returned. Again, I could not pull it apart. I also flexed it back and forth to see if the butt joint would open. It held fast.
I am impressed with this Loctite’s ability to weld rubber together.
