After soaking 2 hours in water and freezing 3 hours and then some more beatings while frozen, there was........no failures. I'll try thumping them again when they thaw out and then it's back to the dishwasher for a few cycles unless I can think of something else.

Chris, I'd sure like to see more on that automotive glue.

Andy, I think your point on prying is good one. I'll see if I can some how work it in but I think the metal test coupons I am using are too thin to pry with. We'll see.

If any of you have ever been deer hunting and seen some one split the rib cage or pelvis with their knife, you would agree the sheering whack tests are exactly field conditions. I understand there are no pins holding the scales in place but they don't take the entire shearing stress, the adhesive takes some also. It doesn't take much movement to crack lose a scale. I've also been camping where I've seen knifes hammered on to split something.
