There are special words for people who set drink containers on tools. 

 

Those special words should be inscribed on their headstones

Good find, looks only slightly used.

Let me count the ways:

- Most people use too much and make a mess

- Messes need to be scraped/sanded or no other glue will hold  (no solvent)

- Foam out needs to be repaired because it's damaged the finish

- Failed GG jobs take at least twice as long to re-repair

- Lacks any strength on a gapping joint (which is why they glued it in the first place -- loose tenons)

- If not clamped, blows the joint apart

- Takes a long time to cure (bad for a guy that wants to fix and get out to the next job)

- Stains the fingers

- Ruins the clothes

- If it drips on the carpet, drat.

- Hardens in the bottle

 

Just say, I groan when I hear, "My husband tried to fix it with Gorilla Glue."

I didn't know that! The only GG I've used is the woodworkers' glue. Never had a problem. I gather you are referring to the "original" GG?

Yes, I've used the PVA glue and it works fine, except when you get it on your clothes.   I'm referring to the polyurethane glue.

 

BTW, I've done work for the owners of Gorilla Glue Co. (that started out in the tool business, and if memory serves, bought Millers Falls a number of years ago).
