Sorry. Just a durometer hardness around 50. This stuff is sealant, not
adhesive. Maybe the manufacturerer has adhesives as well.

If this is the polysulfide fuel tank sealant, it is a relatively soft
rubber rather than a hard glue like JB Weld.  It's primary
reason for existing is because it is very resistant to breakdown
from contact with fuels (jet or gasoline).  There is one solvent
made that slowly swells it and breaks the bond to the substrate,
used by most airlines to remove when resealing their wing tanks.
I think its called Skysolve or Sky-something.
