Move over Super-Glue, Gorilla Glue is Taking Your Place!

“For the toughest jobs on planet earth™” (their slogan)
Now! Stronger-Faster
Bonds: Wood, Stone, Metal, Ceramics, Foam

To use, you wet the things/area you are going to glue with a paintbrush (make sure you do not want to use it for painting ever again, lol). The water helps activates the glue so do not skip that step if you were thinking about it. I forgot once and it did not foam up as it should of.
When I first used this Gorilla Glue I did not know it was going to foam up like it does. They should put that is bold letters on the label.
Do not try and wipe the glue with your bare finger, either wear gloves or have a stick, throw away towel, etc. This stuff will stay on your skin for a long time. It does not hurt or anything, it is just annoying. Also, notice the “throw away” part. This stuff does not come off cloth (that means your clothes too so be careful)
I took the time to peel back the back label and learned that if you squeeze out the excess air from the bottle before you close it, it will last longer (this means squeezing the bottle of glue until the glue almost comes out then putting one the cap while holding). Since air is bad for the glue’s longevity in the bottle.
Gorilla Glue has been fun to use. It is kind of like duct tape to me now, every time something needs to be glued I am going for the gorilla glue. Of course, I have found things that it is not suitable for (it works but not suitable), like leather/material.
I just bought a roll of the Gorilla Tape, so look for its review soon!
