Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces
Customer Review: Over Rated
Summary: 1 Stars
I found Gorilla Glue to be way over rated. Everything that I've used it on eventually came apart. Even when I accidently took the capped off with my mouth (don't try this unless you're a professional), it didn't take long to get my lips unstuck. I'm glad that I just bought a small size of it.Customer Review: Really Good Glue! Use With Caution! Recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
"Gorilla Glue" has become one of the most used "tools" in our house. We have used it to repair wooden chairs, fix a wooden medicine chest, glue soles back on to sneekers, fill cracks in a wall, and at least half a dozen other fixes in the past month.
Here are my observations:
* You must read the directions!
* Surface needs to be damp for the glue to work
* Use clamps when possible
* It expands a *LOT*, use with caution or you might accidently glue your project to the table as it expands overnight! This happend to me :-)
* This is strong glue and hard to get off once it is on a surface
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: Stick to it!

I had seen this product on TV. I had an item, that I loved, get broken & I didn't want to throw it away. I had kept it for several weeks til I saw an ad. I went online & ordered it. I am very pleased to say it worked. My item doesn't look like it was ever broken. ThanksCustomer Review: Stuck On Gorilla Glue
Summary: 4 Stars
This product preforms great on wood to wood bonding. Yes it can be prone to drying up in the bottle if it gets much air in the bottle, but I have only had minor problems mostly clogged applicators in the bottle but any handy small nail can fix the plugged hole.
Once we needed to add a block to a stud to move an electrical box over a couple of inches, Gorilla Glued and screwed it in place then an hour or two later discovered the block was going to have to be moved so we broke out the wrecking bar and had at the block, popped it off and along with it came about an 1/8th of an inch of the wall stud, the block was bonded so well that it did not fail at the bond ripped a layer of the stud off.
Another trick I use Gorilla Glue for is cutting in holes in lath and plaster ceilings without destroying the plaster around the hole. If there is access from above I build a frame the size of the hole using 1/2 x 2" stock then clean up the back of the lath and plaster carefully removing the plaster keys to give a good surface to glue to only in the exact spot of the frame so as not destroy the plaster keys that hold the plaster to the lath. Then I glue down the frame in the attic in the exact location of the hole using gobs of gorilla glue on each lath to insure plenty of area of the frame bonded to the laths. Place some weight on the frame so it will bond, Once cured, carefully saw the hole from below(I use a DeWalt cordless jig saw as it has variable speed and cut as slowly as possible so as not to cause wild vibrations that can literally bring the house down on you, well the ceiling anyway)and the surrounding plaster remains totally supported by the laths that are bonded to the frame, the ceiling feels totally solid no give like when you have unsupported laths.
For the right occasion and material this glue really does the trick, I use it only for wood and only where it is useful still use plenty of white glue and epoxy just use what is the best choice for what you are doing, there is no "Universal Glue" that is a do-all. I have five or six hammers all different and used for different jobs, why should glue be any different, just another tool, choose the right tool for the job and you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Sure foams a lot, but holding is not what it does.
Summary: 1 Stars
I followed the directions exactly, dampen one surface, apply to other, clamp for 4+ hours, 100% cured in 24, and in 8 hours when I check on it, all foam and no hold. I could have pulled the fan I tried to glue apart with my pinky. I was using it for plastic on plastic. This stuff doesn't work, overrated junk.
