I would not suggest it, because they have wonder-full ads about their product on TV, but believe me it is S***. The area of the surface on curtain rails are to small to hold the weight.
Get a friend with a drilling machine and a screwdriver to fit it for you.

It really depends on what your fixing it to, if the thing your fixing it to is just wallpaper its will probably tear your wallpaper off the wall. Also what will hold the pole? If this has a small fixing surface (as they usually do) you can't expect what is just an adhesive to hold. Good luck.

Yes BUT Only if you put in a couple of screws also.If its a lintel borrow a SDS drill and it will take but a few minutes.A standard hammer drill will never do the job.(may do after a long time drilling and with a new bit.maybe?) glue is only as strong as the plaster/paint. no carpenter would dream of fixing it without screwing it.Glue is not permanent and can not be guaranteed.WOULD YOU HANG FROM THE CEILING IN A PAIR OF BOOT GLUED TO THE CEILING ? SCREW IT.

Yes, but you have to remember the adhesive is only as good as the surface you are sticking it to, if the wall or plaster is a bit crumbly the weight of the curtains will pull the fixing off, hope this helps.

well, it depends what the surface is like that you're sticking too, but i wouldn't recommend it, you really want to have something like a rawl plus in the wall, with a screw going through your fixing into that. It's not a lot more work but it will be very secure.

Wouldn't count on it.....it is strong enough but you would only need to tug on the curtains to hard once and it would come off.
If you are going to use that type of product and attempt it...use the newer version....in the black tube! It is much stronger but bear in mind..it is only as strong as the plaster on your walls!

I would not advise you to hang up your curtains if you only use no more nails to hold up the poles its good but not that good

Probably. BUT I would opt for a good yellow wood glue, or a two part epoxy.
