Bought this adhesive out of curiousity as I saw a vid on chinese platform Taobao where they sliced an inner tube open and glued it back with no leaks. Found out that it works remarkably well to reinforce the 16x mudguard once it starts tearing. Wish i had seen this before buying a whole new mudguard. 

Smells like some kind of cyanoacrylate but from past experience, I have never gotten any brand of superglue to work on rubber. Strange.. once cured it's tough but flexible instead of crunchy as well. 

Anyways reckon it's cheap enough that everyone should give it a shot.

My solution to the mudguard tearing was to do a jdm racer style cable tie cross stitch. I was quite happy with the look and it has certainly stopped any further tearing.

I have little faith in adhesives and always go for a mechanical solution over a chemical one.
