Weird but effective [Posted on 2004-11-25]
We've used this glue several times now, and it has worked in situations where other glues, even the lauded Superglue, failed. At least one surface to-be-glued must be moistened ahead of time, and this glue, which looks like frothed-up Ovaltine, bubbles and bubbles and expands, and then adheres like all get-out. It is a bit expensive, no matter where you buy it, so it might not be the first glue you want to try, but use it when other glues have been tried and proven themselves unworthy. That has been our experience, thus far.
The right tool for many jobs... [Posted on 2004-11-30]
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!!!
Gorilla Glue... Tuff Stuff [Posted on 2006-03-20]
I picked up some GG for a test on some oak stands I was about to assemble. I glued two 1/4" thick pieces together at a 90 degree angle, clamped and let cure overnight. I could not break the bond by hand, it took a hammer and that shattered the wood, not the bond. I can't imagine my yellow glue holding like that. I (aginst the suggestions on the bottle) did spread the glue with my finger but it wipped right off with a rag, no big deal. It was a bit more trouble than yellow glue with dampening the surfaces and chiseling the foam off but for me it's not about time or money, it's about the strength of the bond.
You can count on it [Posted on 2006-06-22]
I build wall-hung designs from exotic hardwoods, which involves gluing boards up edge-to-edge to make panels, gluing boards face to face, adding trim pieces, attaching carved pieces to the face of the design - you name it (you can see examples at Legacy Crests). Gorilla glue is my adhesive of choice for absolutely everything. It does squeeze out from between pieces, but once you get familiar with it you know the proper amount to use. Plus, a bit of squeeze-out lets you know that you haven't starved the joint. Trimming off the squeeze-out is no big deal, as the guy above points out. The only thing I don't use GG for is pieces that won't take clamping for one reason or another - then I recommend epoxy.
A Great Glue!!! [Posted on 2007-03-02]
Gorilla Glue is a great product to have around the house. I have used it for various repairs, and it works really well. Far superior to others I have tried.
