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? John

John 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).
