What kind of glue and on what parts/materials were you using it?

It was a polyurethane based glue I'm pretty sure, but I don't know exactly what kind or brand of glue. I'll be in the shop Wednesday and if we still have the container of it I'll post back with more detail. We used it on 3/4 inch extruded aluminum tubing held together by flat plates. Before we did any gluing we roughed the surface up with a pneumatic disc grinder to create a surface for the glue to actually stick to.
We never had any of our glued pieces fail, and when we just glued two test pieces together and tried to break the joint we bent the metal before we did anything to the glue itself. We could easily have gotten away with not using the rivets, but we just used them to hold the pieces together till the glue could set.
Of course, don't get it on your hands... or clothes. The other problem I could see is if it is in a high stress location and the part it's holding on is damaged it would be a real pain to fix.
