I used it to fix a crack in the aluminum deck of my lawn mower and it has held up for 6 or 7 years. Has held up well with all the engine vibration.

fixing a mtn bike rim... the hub is a disc brake hub and one screw was torn out/another broken off/another stripped.

was free so its worth a shot filling and redrilling/tapping.

Here is a link to a product I saw on TV as an infomercial, if it works as advertised its pretty amazing stuff. I claim no affiliation nor do I endorse it because I only have seen it on TV.

Gotta agree with eben on the faith factor.
