Question Gorilla glue

Just bought some. Anyone here using or has used it? Got some pine but need to bulk up so I thought I would use the stuff. Also, after dampening the pieces before gluing how long should I let it sit before turning etc.?

Thanks in advance, Flapgums

Why even try.........

I use it some. Let it dry over night, wear a face shield (laminated turnings can split from tail stock pressure). It doesn't require much moisture, just a quick wipe down on one side of the joint. You will need to clamp it (it foams and expands as it dries). You can also use it on screw eyes. Not truly waterproof (I think), but plenty resistant for a plug. Don't get it on your hands, it stays there a very long time.

Also, be VERY careful if you have any pets or children around that might mistake it for being edible. If ingested it is not a pretty site when it reacts with internal body fluids. I saw some pictures a few weeks back of a dog that ate some.

I laminated maple to ayc last year when I did my off center stuff. I let it dry overnight. Just be sure to set the clamped pieces on some scrap material up off of the surface of your table. When the glue foams up and runs out of the joints if its sitting flush to the work table it will be glued to the table too.

I used to use it to set my lips in plugs.....had a tendancy to break down after awhile in the salt water. had to redo all the lips w/ epoxy.

the newer "Nano" technology type gorilla glue alleges h2o proof. I use it, have not tested the waterproofness though

I never used Gorilla, but Titebond III is waterproof, and not quite as messy and never yet have had a glue seam failure.

How do you guys keep a bottle of that gorilla glue from hardening before use?
I buy a small bottle and even if I don't use it, it hardens in the bottle.
If I use some and store it, it's always ruined before I can use it again.

I have used it for over a year now for laminating wood, I wet the wood quite a bit, if your laminating hard wood to soft, wet both surfaces... clamp and wait 24 hours... I have turned some in as little as 4 hours, I even applied heavy tail stock pressure... I havent had a failure to date... but do wear a full face sheild, as we all know.. there is always the first time...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Oh.. and I only buy small quantities... as some have found out.. the stuff hardens fairly rapidly.... I've found that it lasts longer in the winter... IMHO... it may have something to do with the humidity..

I bet if you added something to the bottle to displace the air it would keep it from setting up. I remember reading a thread once where someone was adding kids marbles to a can of something to displace the air to keep it from setting up but I don't remember what product it was..
