Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces
Customer Review: Naysayers: Learn the product before you trash it
Summary: 4 Stars
As some have noted here, I have used several polyurethane adhesives in the past, and have found them to be capable of covering far more tough-to-do job applications than just about any other glue that is marketed to the public. Some have complained that this poly glue expands and makes a big super- gooey tough to remove mess. Really? They all do! Clamp, staple and WATCH the curing process to have a measure of control. Remove the curing excess with a solvent. I use gasoline or spray carburetor cleaner on a rag to clean the mess off the repaired item and myself, but your Sunday school teacher would advise to use some safer item that doesn't work as well. A clamping tip that I discovered myself: Use a few dabs of super glue to allow quick adhesion of your joining materials which simplifies clamping pieces that want to separate. Super glue cures VERY quickly and is compatible with Gorilla and other polys. Just try to keep it somewhat separate for a stronger bond. Another Tip: Use a heavy carpenter's stapler to join the peeling soles of athletic shoes that you have glued. Needle nose pliers will remove the staples after about 6-8 hours.Customer Review: Not a strong glue

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.Customer Review: Not an All-Purpose Glue
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this glue is best used for porous surfaces like stone, wood, drywall, foam, rug material, cloth and brickwork. It dries brittle, with practically no elasticity, so I don't recommend it for automotive applications where there is a lot of mechanical vibration. It also takes longer than 24 hours to dry, and it foams and leaves a lot of run-off. So if you have holes or voids to fill, this glue is perfect. I consider Gorilla Glue to be the new improved, waterproof version of white glue. The manufacturer claims this is the world's strongest glue, but I don't think so. And it's not an all-purpose glue like Household Goop, or The Welder.Customer Review: One Tough Glue
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
-Really tough glue
-More flexible than super glue
-Waterproof
-Works on many surfaces, metals, wood, ceramics, some plastics, etc. Best for wood applications.
Cons:
-It expands, drips and produce tiny bubbles during the drying process. This is my biggest gripe. Definitely not for repairing your Lladros or others applications that require hairline precision.
-Glue is not clear but yellow. Very noticeable, not good if you really want a clean finish.
-Make sure you really clean the tip of the bottle or it will be hard to open and use it the next time
-Expensive
Customer Review: Only thing tuff about this glue is getting it out of the bottle!
Summary: 1 Stars
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
