Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces


I like to have solutions before I have problems and this glue has been more of a problem than a solution. I'm always up for another 'better' or more applicable solution for a specific handyman problem/project that arises, since I'm always fixing/improving/modifying something. But this glue has left me frustrated numerous times.

Can it create a strong bond? Yes. But it takes a very long time to cure (24 hours, and that's if the materials bonded are porous, longer if not, like smooth plastics, also slower if the temperature is cold like in a cool garage), requires a very good clamping in the meantime, is very brittle and not flexible (which can destroy the bond entirely), and expands leaving messy edges and/or uncertainty on proper area to apply glue. It's also difficult to clean up/off once you've realized its the wrong solution.

I'll stick to my epoxies, liquid nails/construction adhesive, super glues/gels, silicone, wood and other purposeful glues, even scotch tape for that matter, before I use this glue again (no pun intended.)Get more detail about Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces.
