B737-700 flight attendant reported a fume event caused maintenance use of chemical to repair flight ...

Narrative:

The captain had the mechanics out to repair the aft jump seat in ZZZ3; the jump seat was not springing up as it should. The chemical coil pod was used for the repair. The fumes from the product were so strong and not dissipating; I developed a headache; mouth tingling and burning eyes. The captain had the mechanics back out in ZZZ to see if they could do anything. It was determined it would take several more hours for the fumes to dissipate. Since further exposure to these fumes would hinder my ability to preform my flight attendant duties I sat in row xxc for take off and landing. Strong chemicals that produce fumes should never be used in the cabin. The maintenance department should have a list of prohibited chemicals that should not be used inside the aircraft. The poor air quality / fumes was noticed by all crew members and passengers.
