I love these. I binged the whole Alt Boy list today. The body filler is interesting. I do plastic model kits and we use what is commonly called "green stuff" (kneadatite); a two part mix that can me smoothed with water, cures rock hard, and can be sanded.

Is that a gameboy in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?
So, the TP idea kinda put you on the right track. One thing that people do with super glue is mix in baby powder to make a paste for extra structure. It's a really good way to prototype silly things, but is not always the most secure in the long term. Since you're usually using bondo on the exterior of those seams, it's probably fine.
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.

I'm not certain someone's commented on this but a good way to reinforce super glue is to use baking soda. you put a little glue, then you sprinkle some soda on it very generously, then more glue, more soda, more gluye.... you get it. it's very solid, can be sanded and files, and can even be built up to replace broken plastic tabs in various components.
