Well, I can't pass Ed's test for CA understanding, but no. True, CA can
hold up elephants (and maybe liquor stores too), but the bond needs a
suitable surface, of a suitable area. It's not the total tonnage involved,
but the pounds per square inch, angstroms per square mil, or whatever your
choice of loading indicator may be. You didn't say what size the broken
agraffe stud is, but if it's not something you can get from a supply house,
tell them they can get you a replacement ASAP, or stick it - nicely, of
course.
