It's my new favorite glue.
So far I've repaired my stand-up bass, the rubber diaphram inside my Kawasaki 250 carburetor, a pair of Teva Sandals, a plasitc cat toy, a wooden cabinet slide that hold an under-counter trash can and a falling-off license plate tag.
The stuff expands 3-4 times, requires no mixing and dries to 80% strength in 2 hours. The expansion seems to force the glue into any holes or crevices and make an extremely tough, but slightly flexible bond.
Just used it a couple of days ago to laminate two 1/2" sheets of plywood together so that I could repair the step door on my tent trailer that was rotting out.
Used it to build my bed, a fireplace mantle, repair survey gear and ALMOST whatever needed. I just wish it wold have been around 20 years earlier.
The Gorilla "duct" tape is no joke either.
I had a tooth that broke when I bit down on something and the "front half" of the tooth came off. I glued it back with Gorilla Glue till I could get to the dentist. Even he was amazed and became a believer. 🙂 Probably isn't good for you tho.
I always thought it was pretty ironic how we use "duct tape" for a huge variety of things, but it isn't that great for ventilation ducts (it works well for a while, but the glue degrades over time, especially on heating ducts, and eventually the tape just falls off).
But I just found out recently that its original name really was "duck tape", and it was developed to keep ammo cases dry in WWII, which is how it got its name. But at least for a while, it was very popular for use in HVAC systems, which is how the name switched to "duct tape". And in a final bit of irony, we now have "Duck Tape", which is a specific brand of "duct tape".
Funny how things go 'round...
I've been using their version of cyanoacrylate ("super glue")to fletch my carbon arrows.
Great stuff.
