> He Araldited it back in the same place. [emphasis added]
For anyone like me who wondered what this meant and thought it might be a typo, Araldite is a brand of adhesives that I'd never heard of before. Maybe I'm showing my ignorance, but now I have a new word to use!
Yes sorry about Araldite, it's a common word for me.
As others have correctly said it's a two part epoxy glue, but it can do much more that just stick two surfaces together. It sticks to pretty much anything and also has volume so they don't need to be a perfect fit, it fills in the gaps so you can also repair things with chips missing. It's also long lasting and quite hardy to heat and water. Just make sure everything is in place when it sets!
So to put it in my local terms, it sounds a bit like the Gorilla Glue of epoxies.
I can understand how it was the perfect glue for the job.
