Gorilla Glue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gorilla Glue is a brand of multipurpose polyurethane adhesive. It can be used for both indoor and many outdoor purposes.

Moisture in the air, or the materials being bonded, or sealed is usually sufficient to cause Gorilla Glue to cure.

The glue expands while setting so it will fill minor gaps. However, the expanded glue contains air bubbles, so it cannot fill gaps as thoroughly as such glues as epoxies. It is therefore likely to be a better glue for wood end grain, as it will be better absorbed into the wood tubules, than the more common aliphatic glues. Some makers; such as Gorilla Group, claim their implementation is waterproof, others only water resistant. Stainabilty varies, though some vendors claim better stainability than other glues.

Once cured, the glue is waterproof or water resistant, and can be sanded, scraped, painted on, or planed.
