GorillaOriginal Gorilla Glue, Waterproof Polyurethane Glue, 36 Ounce Bottle, Brown, (Pack of 1)

I have been using different versions of this type of product for many years. This is a urethane based adhesive. There are several of them available on the market today, and this is the best known of the bunch. That doesn't mean it is any better than the others, but certainly not any worse either. When you make this purchase you are faced with the question of how large of a bottle to purchase. I would recommend that you think carefully about this. For most wood applications, it doesn't take a lot of this glue to do the job. Here is an example... I had to completely refit and glue up a set of eight (8) dining room chairs. All of the original glue joints were working loose. The original glue used was one of the standard white or yellow "carpenter's" glues. They worked well for more than ten years, but eventually failed due to rocking motions and sliding them across the floor. I completely refit and glued up all eight of those chairs with this one 4 ounce bottle. So, only choose the larger bottles if you have large projects or you are "sloppy" or "over generous" with your application rates (Incidentally...more is NOT better..!!).This glue works as advertised. It is incredibly strong and waterproof. One of the main features (and concerns..) is it's tendency to expand and fill openings. If you have a tight fit and are securely clamped, the glue will tend to penetrate into the softer wood substrates and fill all of the wood pores and the available space. This is a GOOD thing. If, on the other hand, your joint is not fitted tightly, the glue will still expand and will fill available space but will not penetrate into the wood as much. This is still better than the older carpenter's glues in this respect. But you need to clamp securely to get the best results.In any event, this glue is like all urethane glues. It requires a certain amount of moisture or humidity in and around the joint for the glue to set properly. This is a difficult concept for some folks to understand. This glue will not perform as intended if the materials are very dry and the humidity in the air is low. It NEEDS some amount of moisture in some manner for the glue to function as designed and to reach maximum strength. When I use this product I always moisten the surface of the wood slightly. I use a small sponge that is wrung out almost dry and then rub it firmly across the wood of the joint enough so that the moisture is evident. The wood will turn slightly darker as it absorbs moisture. Wait for about five minutes and then do it again. You want the wood to be very slightly damp only...NOT wet or dripping water. The glue will take care of the rest..!!! Another thing to remember is that the glue does expand... It will push out of the joint. Watch for the glue and the bubbly look and clean it off as you wait for it to set. Keep a dry cloth handy and one dampened with paint thinner or a similar solvent. Once the glue sets completely and dries, you will meet a file or a chisel to remove it.....The last thing to remember is that this glue is activated by moisture and will set up in the nozzle and the bottle if you are not careful. So, here is a professional tip for you.... You can squeeze the bottle slightly to remove the air before you put on the cap. This is what the manufacturer recommends...and it works okay as long as the bottle is nearly full. As the bottle empties, it is harder and harder to achieve the "full bottle" situation. SO.... When you are ready to end your project and wish to keep the rest of the glue for next time..... Remove the cap and drop CLEAN and DRY marbles or steel balls into the bottle. REMEMBER, clean and dry.!! The balls will take up the available space and force the air out of the bottle as the level of the glue rises toward the top. When it gets almost to the top, replace the lid TIGHTLY and then gently squeeze the bottle to remove the very last remnants of air before tightening down the twist cap. If you can keep the bottle full (in some way..) the glue will last a lot longer in the bottle. It will still eventually harden....that is one of the detractors of this glue.... but it will last a lot longer.Incidentally, for those who care, you can do almost the same thing with other products like this. What damages left over paint the most is a partially filled can. To stop it, just replace the lid very tightly and then turn the can upside down. the paint will then stay at the top, and all of the skin and crap will be at the bottom of the can. Same with other wood finishes like polyurethane or varnish or ...??? Just fill the can with marbles (if its a small can..) or tightly close the container and store upside down. It won't keep forever, but it will allow you to store it for awhile ... maybe until your next use.!!!!Anyway, Gorilla Glue.... Five stars. Excellent product when used as designed. Very high strength and waterproof. Can't ask for more than that....

Clean and amazing. Easy to use.......but be aware...use sparingly a little bit goes a long ways

I can not be sure it was the best choice for my application. It was easy to use and a good response time for the build.Urethane glue is not the best choice for outdoor wood products. I am taking the chance it will hold up.

I've had many of these little bottles of Gorilla Glue, if I could remember where I put them, I would not need to buy them so often, but they work like a charm. We had a chair that needed a repair, because the wooden frame underneath was cracking, and the arm rest was pushed out of the normal position. I tried to screw it together, but the frame of the chair did not have enough wood material, and I was lacking the 'chair repair' skills that were likely needed for such a job. Enter Gorilla Glue.It's noted that one of the primary uses are on wood. And that's no joke. I followed the directions, wetting the wood a bit, then applying glue to the area, and put pressure on the whole deal to make sure it was not going to move when I walked away. 24 hours later and the job was done. Gorilla Glue expands a bit when applied, so be careful if you're putting it somewhere that can be seen. But my chair project had the repair under fabric, so I could go bananas, and not worry about the expandable nature of this powerful magic bond.I'm sure it will come in handy for other repair jobs, as I'm better with glue than I am with normal 'fix it' tools.

Well, I finally found at least one thing the venerable gorilla glue won't adhere to: car steering wheel vinyl (and presumably any other vinyl, too. Was trying to make a mount for my cell phone directly on my steering wheel for GPS use (watch out airbag deployment, though!) and found that gorilla won't adhere. Very surprised.On everything else, though, it can't be beat. Understand that you're to dab a bit of water on to-be-joined surfaces and also that it expands alot (all in the directions, btw).One negative, though, is it's a PITA to get it out of the tube once it's about half-empty. It's a stiff tube and I don't know what they expect you to do...use vise grips to squeeze every last drop out?UPDATE 4/12/12: Have lost a little bit of faith in Gorilla Glue. I have found a couple different things it refuses to bond to. One, namely, is a car steering wheel. Was attempting to permanently adhere velcro to the steering wheel (center of air bag) for a cell phone holder and GG refused to stick to the vinyl material. Ho hum...To counter that, though, I tried it as a wood glue. Yes, GG makes a specific wood glue, but I wanted to try this.I took two pieces of 4x6 lumber and cut biscuits into each side. I then wet the to-be-joined area with water, dabbed it slightly dry and applied glue all around. Inserted the biscuits and clamped.Came back the next day and attempted to break the wood. I had made two different joins in two different pieces of wood. I then mounted them in a large mechanics vice right at the joint. I then took a giant carpenter's/roofer's hammer to it and swung as hard as I could. The first wood broke after three swings, but not at the joint. The wood failed before the joint.The second specimen refused to break at all. I ended up exhausted trying to break the wood. Wood refused and bond refused. I'm impressed.

Duties apply to Canadian orders as vendor is in Europe. Great product and came quickly.

It wasn't cheap, but was exactly what was needed to re-glue garden furniture.

Works as intended.

I bought this Glue sometime last year. I just use it to repair my sitcase, the result was beyond my expectation.
