I use Tec7 for a lot of jobs around the place, finding it to be reliable and strong, so I thought I'd check if it was safe to use for sealing joints, etc. with bees. I have used it to seal feeders before, but wasn't sure if it was a good idea - the tech sheet doesn't address this area. I mailed them and asked directly if it was safe to use in hives and if there was a risk of contamination. This is what they said:

There are no harmful side effects from cured Tec7. As the data sheet shows there are no isocyanates or solvents in the product.
As you know the product is widely used with fish tanks.
So I don't believe there will be any issue in this application.
 
Tec 7 a earlier version of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9 :)

I just realised from looking at their site that it probably isn't available in the UK. It's not like Gorilla Glue, probably closer to Unibond sealant except it has phenomenal adhesive properties. I stuck some tiles onto pebbledash a few years ago and it would probably require a kango hammer to take them off.
