Any type of epoxy resin such as Araldite will do the trick ;)

Wfp has been around for a while now,don't think its too much too ask for clamps that don't fall apart,especialy when paying several hundred sometimes for poles (not personaly,too much of a tightass)
Not fit for purpose comes to mind  :-\

i USE THE 2 PART EPOXY GLUE FOR STEEL BUT REMEMBER TO RUFFEN UP THE INSIDE OF THE CLAMP AND THE POLE,ITS VERY IMPORTANT.

No,not aimed at any specific company,just in general.
I seem to read lots of these topics about various clamps failing,or not stuck properly.

I find it mainly happens in or just after cold spells and/or when people have been over tightening clamps.

I've always maintained the same argument as you, but others seem to think its really good of a company to send you glue in the post when your clamps have come loose after only a months use. They even praise the company for its customer service!

Unbelievable :o :o :o

Had a clamp go on a slx about 4 months ago, i stuck it with electrical tape, it only started coming loose today, so out comes the tape yet again.
Ive glued a few clamps back before, but just got fed up with it in the end,just gonna use the tape from now on
