steve_b_wales Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've been using the above glue with great success. It is very powerful as advertised. Yesterday, I was in my local DIY shop and was shown a glue called Beast, which is exactly the same as the Gorilla make. I bought a large bottle for £5:99 and tried it out. No difference at all between the two, and it's far cheaper than the Gorilla brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 This the glue that foams when it cures ? I've used a few bottles of the gorilla ones. It is good and fills and gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigroomboy Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I use this in the winter, but its a messy glue so prefer normal wood glue when its warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 It’s a polyurethane glue but I find bottled stuff messy. We use similar but in a silicon tube. if you ever want to test a tube it’s £6 and I can post a tube at cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen it used to bond granite Its far more controllable in a mastic gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Run a damp cloth over both edges of the wood before bonding. I use gator glue off ebay, and another company does a fast setting version which takes 15-30mins to cure. Realistically it actually takes about 6 hours. But as tt uses above, the tubed stuff is best, as the bottles always foam if not sealed/used quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltings Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 gorilla glue / expanding foam/ if it gets on you leave it until cured before removal or you will have to wear it off over days and gets on everything you are working on and difficult to clean up in the right conditions really good expanding glue / other scenarios require resin w cascamite powder glue / not to mention hoof glue hot glue / depending on final finish transparent or painted flexible like a stairs or rigid like a table and chairs ( no glue does all requirements ) right glue for the right job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use pu and mitre fix really besides occasional pva . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
