I don't think it's specifically a silicone or cyanoacrylate or
whatever. It's a solvent polymer based adhesive that's a propietary
formula of the company Goop. I think there's a phone number on the
website you can call for more information.
There's a dozen different types (and I believe that Shoe Goo is also
the same product line - may be the original glue before they realized
that it'll glue pretty much anything but styrofoam), but from what
I've researched, there's zero difference between products other than
that two, Marine and Sportsmans Goop, have added UV resistance. I
usually buy Plumber's Goop... because it's cheaper than the other
types Home Depot had.
I think E6000 is also an equivalent type of glue, but I'm not 100%
certain of that.
I've used it to glue chromed metal bushings to chrome sink pipes for
prop replicas and I couldn't break the things apart after we were done
with them. However, I have had it pop off mechanically on very smooth
acrylic but only with very rough handling. I would rough up whatever
you're gluing just to be on the safe side.
