Only thing tuff about this glue is getting it out of the bottle! by sugar Woods (VA)  1 Stars
November 28, 2009
Ok this is a Polyurethane Glue which is quite different to use than any other glue.
Its water activated which makes it faster drying than the old brown glues but these guys are pulling the wool over our eyes. Its a good glue but way to expensive for how it performs. Forget about using it in the cold! Second once its opened use it up like yesterday becuase the way they have this stuff formulated it drys out in less than six months and you are back to the store for another bottle! Not bad marketing I'm thinking. It foams way to much for a PU glue which leaves it very vulnerable to failure with large open holes in its bond. Its slow to dry and its also not made in America WHICH THIS WOOD WORKER HAS A TUFF TIME WITH. I am testing several other brands and will post comments to this review later! I recomend you skip the Gorilla and try an American Made Glue! try these with me and see what you think!Sticky Ass Glue SAG4OZ Waterproof Stubbornly Strong Glue, 4-OunceorElmer's P9417 Ultimate Poly Glue 16 oz

Fabulous Product! by Montag (Albany, NY)  5 Stars
November 11, 2009
This glue worked even better then I had expected! I had to adhere metal to metal, and this glue was able to do it! I can only vouch for metal on metal gluing, but it worked like a charm for me (in doing that)! I'd say if you've had trouble gluing non-porous surfaces (with another product) that you might want to give this one a try!
One more thing: love that this stuff doesn't have a chemical/toxic scent/odor! Not sure what's in this stuff, but I wonder if it's at all similar to something called wheat paste which I've known a lot of people to use when posting flyers (for concerts, shows, open mics, etc).

WAY overrated by M. Mosakowski (Sayreville, NJ) 1 Stars

I think Gorilla Glue is crap. I made a repair with it and it failed costing me a job and a client. Sure it sticks to wood but what glue doesn't.
You want to do the job right use wood glue for wood and epoxy for anything else that really needs a good bond.
Seriously I used this stuff for numerous glue jobs and it expands, foams up and really does not stick very well.
I am 49 years old and was a professional carpenter for 7 years. I own a business that used to repair speakers and am quite experienced in the use of glue. Nothing sticks like a good epoxy.

Very Effective, Significant Expansion Upon Drying Requires Caution by Patrick S. Pope (Chicago, IL)  4 Stars
July 20, 2009
After having a bottle of Gorilla Glue sitting around unopened for over a year, I decided to use it on three repair projects. The first was for multiple joints on a flimsy Ikea Malm chest of drawers. The second project was the reattachment of a shoe sole. Both projects were successful. However, the significant expansion of this polyurethane adhesive caused quite a mess. This degree of expansion (~4X), while beneficial in many regards, is something every user should anticipate. As an experiment, I also tried Gorilla Glue on third item - a plastic handle of a pair of scissors. This was a failure as the glue didn't hold for more than a few uses.
Gorilla glue was particularly effective on repairing my Ikea chest of drawers that had multiple broken joints. Where these joints had failed around the metal fasteners, chips of particle board broke free. Most were too small to recover and reattach. The expansion of polyurethane filled the voids. In fact, I which I used Gorilla glue when I first assembled it as the breaks probably would have never occurred in the first place.
The second repair project was for a shoe with a sole that had delaminated. After being gouged by the only shoe repair shop within a reasonable distance of my residence, I decided to do this repair myself. My concern originally was that I didn't have a hydraulic press to provide adequate compression during the drying process. Fortunately, I was able to find two hardware clamps that worked well. At the time, I didn't realize how important this was as Gorilla Glue expands so much that without mechanical clamps, too much polyurethane would have formed between the sole and body of the shoe. Hence, I was surprised to find a fairly significant mess the next morning as the expanded glue leaked out and dried onto the sides of the sole. While this mess was an irritation, the sole had remained firmly attached.
The third repair was with a cheap pair of scissors with plastic handles. As I expected, the bond didn't hold. Presumably, Gorilla Glue is more suited to porous materials.
Summary of Results:
1) Ikea Malm chest of drawers: Gorilla Glue worked well for the repair of the broken particle board and the securing of the metal pegs in the still intact sections. Some mess due to the expansion. Two weeks later and it is still rock solid.
2) Repair of shoe sole: Major mess due to the significant expansion but sole is still attached very securely. The yellowish adhesive that was squeezed out to the perimeter is very noticeable as it dripped down the sides and expanded further.
3) Repair of plastic scissor handle: Didn't hold. It appears that lack of a large, porous area made Gorilla glue a poor choice, which is what expected in the first place. Will try a cyanoacrylate alternative.
Pros:
Strong
Adheres to multiple substrates
Expansion can strengthen bonds by filling voids
Cons:
Expansion can create quite a mess
Bottle hole clogs easily
Doesn't seem to work well with plastics

Not a strong glue by Brad Viets (Boise, ID USA) 1 Stars
July 14, 2009
I've used this glue a number of times over several years. I've followed directions and it holds a little. A good example is I attached four wooden dowels with screws and Gorilla Glue for a drapery rod. It held as long as no pressure was put on the joints, but after a couple years I took it down for drape cleaning and a joint failed. I've experienced other failures like this in the past. I'm getting rid of the remainder.
