One Tough Glue August 6, 2008
Nuknuk (Springfield, VA United States)
Pros: br /-Really tough glue br /-More flexible than super glue br /-Waterproof br /-Works on many surfaces, metals, wood, ceramics, some plastics, etc. Best for wood applications. br / br /Cons: br /-It expands, drips and produce tiny bubbles during the drying process. This is my biggest gripe. Definitely not for repairing your Lladros or others applications that require hairline precision. br /-Glue is not clear but yellow. Very noticeable, not good if you really want a clean finish. br /-Make sure you really clean the tip of the bottle or it will be hard to open and use it the next time br /-Expensive
Don't get it on your hands or tools... March 24, 2008

Hmmm, so, yes, I'm a woman who loves working with power tools and such. I used this stuff to fix a broken leg on a table. It worked great! I recently got the stuff out again to help with a few projects I'm working on. I left the top off since it hardened and I had to cut off the top. I place a napkin over the opening (major stupid thing to do!) and left it out for a few hrs. My girls decided to clean up after me and just took off the napkin and "tossed" the bottle in my bucket of current tools. The stuff got all over my drill bits! They are soaking in a towel drenched in paint thinner presently. HOWEVER, my hands...here's what to do..do NOT wash with water yet, ok? They will get all gooey and such. I ran and got Bar Keepers Friend (can probably use Comet too) and poured it on my hands and rubbed the powder until they felt clean..then rubbed some more. When I rinsed them they felt softer than before. I could not get the glue out of my cuticles so here I am rubbing them with fine grit sandpaper. It's coming off too. Moisturize afterwards...lots. br / br /Lesson learned...wear gloves, find a suitable top if it needs replacing, always clean up your work site when kids are around.((((sigh))))
Good Stuff February 21, 2006

This Gorilla Glue is great stuff, when used in certain situations. Don't expect to use it as your primary go-to glue. The most important thing is that you use it only when you can clamp the pieces FIRMLY together, and when the pieces fit very closely to begin with. If not clamped properly, the foaming action while curing will certainly force the pieces apart, resulting in a very weak, ugly joint. The glue itself has no strength as a filler. For most wood work, STICK with good old white or yellow glues, and you'll be a lot happier. A common complaint is it's very difficult to get off your hands. I use Boraxo hand cleaner (the common white powdered kind) with hot water and it comes off easily with some scrubbing--I think the grittiness of the Boraxo helps. Make sure you scrape off the exuded foam when it becomes dry and crispy (there'll be a lot of it if you used enough glue.) And don't neglect the part about dampening the wood surface before glueing up -- this glue cures in the presence of water rather than air.

I used the glue to repair a kitchen chair that I purchased from an antique store. I'm thrilled to say it's still holding strong! I will caution though to make sure you read the directions and follow them exactly.

I have restored many old desks which I acquired from a local University surplus auction. These oak desks were very good quality, but they unfortunately had an ugly black top on them. I am unsure of what the black surface is, but it seems to be some sort of plastic/synthetic. After stripping the desks and removing the edge trim from the tops, I used Gorilla glue to attach furniture grade oak plywood to the black surface. After making a new edge banding and using traditional finishing techniques, the desks look like a million bucks. I experimented with other adhesives, but found Gorilla glue to be the absolute best for strength, working time, and cost. There is a bit of ooze-out when clamping pressure is applied, but I just wait for the glue to dry and scrape the hardened seepage with a chisel before sanding. I highly recommend this glue!!! br /
