    This might be very useful for bonding PTFE and aluminium on cookware if it ends up being food safe.

      Any reason to think this flower of fluorines (seriously, that thing looks INTENSE) would be any more environmentally safe than PFOA?

    On the left hand side we see a lot very unhappy carbon.

    Is there really a use for this(temporary adhesives) outside of Fixturing?

      The marine industry would love a (non water soluble) glue that achieves structural strength on PTFE and POM.

      Are you asking if there's use for temporarily sticking stuff to other stuff?

      Yes, plenty. Especially if it sticks well while needed, and then can be non-destructively undone when no longer needed.

        That is generally what fixturing implies. A temporary bond that you use while making a part, and then remove when the part is complete.
