An ode to Gorilla Glue

Once again Gorilla Glue has come through for me.  I have a Fit Bit, one of the older 'Charge' models and I like to wear it because it's a very handy digital watch as well as showing me how many steps I've taken in a day. Today, for example, thanks to a granddaughter's desire to browse the mall, I walked almost four miles. Knowing this makes me feel like I've really accomplished something, I've had this Fit Bit, a Christmas gift from my daughter, for over two years now and noticed a few weeks ago that the strap was pulling away from the unit.  I tried twice to buy a replacement band but the bands out there are for newer styles and I couldn't find anything to fit.  So I decided to try Gorilla Glue.  I happen to have some on hand because I used it to repair a chair leg two years ago, That repair is still holding strong.  So I moistened the surface per instructions, spread the glue, and after some thought, used a rubber band to 'clamp' the pieces together. So far it seems to be holding, Score one more for Gorilla Glue. I wonder if they would like me to do a commercial?
