Yes, Pro Bond is a brand name - they carry it at Orchard Supply Hardware here. It is a brown liquid in a one pint bottle that self expands (minimally expanding adhesive - just enough to fill gaps) and only needs a little moisture to activate the adhesive. Don't soak with water - a dampened sponge is MORE than enough to get it going. The directions are good. The water is only a catalyst. In 24 hours it is as strong (or stronger) than the wood it repairs. Also does metals and plastics with proper surface prep. Scratch up shiny surfaces to give it things to hold onto. Just amazing stuff. Works on many types of materials - more than epoxy. You could fix shoes with it, or even repair tires. Wrap with gauze and it will make a good repair when the surface alone won't be strong enough. Don't get it on your hands - it takes days to get it off once it cures and the solvents that remove it aren't something you want on your skin.

If you have a Target, they had the solar battery chargers there.
