Gorilla Glue cleanup [Posted on 2008-01-02]
Gorilla Glue is a great glue, holds strong, but don't use it on ceramics! I used it to glue a ceramic/porcelain foo dog. An hour later I saw the hard, foam-like ooze coming from each seam! I ended up having to scrape it off with a sharp edged knife. For the remainder I had to use fine steel wool soaked in mineral spirits. It took a long time but eventually it came off.
The Strength of the Jungle [Posted on 2008-08-03]
I entered a number of local "do-it-yourself" stores (that shall go unnamed) looking for a strong glue/adhesive to bond some laminate hardwood flooring planks to concrete slab that had come unglued after months of wear and tear. Up and down the aisles I went in search for the strongest, and cheapest, glue on the market. And then I saw it, hiding behind the "lush" collection of paint supplies: Gorilla Glue. It immediately caught my attention as it peered out from behind the confines of paint trays and rollers. I asked the attending sales associate about this product, and he looked me in the eyes and said, "I have no idea, but it sounds cool!" That was all all needed to hear. I arrived back at my house twenty-five minutes later curious and ready to make it happen. I followed the instructions on the back of the bottle and went to work. For someone not versed in the world of glues and looking for a simple, cheap way to fix a problem, I was easily impressed with Gorilla Glue's ability to get the job done. I highly recommend it to the working folks who are too busy to get to those projects around the house! Trust the gorilla...
One Tough Glue [Posted on 2008-08-06]
Pros:
-Really tough glue
-More flexible than super glue
-Waterproof
-Works on many surfaces, metals, wood, ceramics, some plastics, etc. Best for wood applications.
Cons:
-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.
-Glue is not clear but yellow. Very noticeable, not good if you really want a clean finish.
-Make sure you really clean the tip of the bottle or it will be hard to open and use it the next time
-Expensive

This stuff would be great if you needed to glue California to Arizona to keep it from falling into the ocean...for any other application, it's total overkill. I was warned about the foaming, but it foams AFTER you have everything set and clamped (or weighted down). If you're doing anything other than skyscraper construction or building weight-bearing walls in your house, buy something else.
