Default Need a strong epoxy or glue

NOT A CAR PART

I smashed my RAZR getting out of the Camaro a week or 2 ago. The heavy doors basically folded my keypad in half. Well, I was looking and although I've replaced the phone, I'd like to see if I can get this working at least "good enough" to maybe use the camera and the storage (it holds a memory card).

I need a very strong, but very rigid glue or epoxy, etc. What would you guys suggest? Thanks in advance, and

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, I've heard it's strong. But is it RIGID? I need it to not just hold it together, but to keep it firm. The keypad being able to fold in half, it needs to be firm so it won't fold. Ya feel me? I've never actually seen how the Gorilla Glue hardens. I just know it's a polyurethane glue. And for some reason when I think polyurethane, I think "at least slightly flexible".

Go to your local autoparts store and buy a 2 part epoxy. They usually setup in 60seconds to 5 minutes. They get SOLID.

+1 on the two part epoxy. Walmart has it for under 3 bucks. Rated at 1000 pounds per square inch. Solid ****, used it to make new threads in the mirror of my former blazer when the mirror got ripped off, worked great with road vibration.

I've used some 2 part epoxy on a few things from time to time and it's worked great. Better than other things I've tired. Smells really bad but it's strong, might do the trick for you

exactly like said above, 3m # 8115. 2 part epoxy used to hold body panels together. pretty expensive fix for no more than yuo'll need, and it takes a special gun to dispense it. if you know anyone that works in a body shop they could probably fix you up
