Gorilla Glue Rant
Great stuff, but once you open the bottle, it's going to dry up and become useless. No matter how well you seal the top. That makes it awful expensive for a single use item.

I have thought of that..With that little tiny pointy top, I don't really see that working very well....Always turn it upside down to store, pvc glue as well

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Weird. I always have the stuff on hand, and I've never had a bottle dry up before it was empty. I know some of it I've had for the better part of a year.

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
I've also never had a problem with it drying out. I store it right side up.

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
I think it uses moisture to set. The instructions say to dampen dry wood before using for a faster set.
Get much humidity up there?

side topic, those glues are fatal to dogs, and yes, dogs like the way they taste.

Re: Gorilla Glue & Baking Soda
Saw a You Tube vid were a guy uses SG and Baking soda to fix a broken nut on a guitar. forms a super hard, file able substance. After hardening, he took a knife edge file and cut a groove for the string to rest in.
I've got a broken meerschaum pipe in need of some sg, I've just not done it yet.

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Broken part, put superglue on one half, starter fluid other half
Be sure to have it where you want it, it set quick

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
I'm finding this to be true. Flew my RC plane in a tree not on purpose but anyway it was so high I had only one option and that was to shoot off the wings. I clipped the wings and got it back down but had some damage when it hit. Broke the tail and had several 22 holes in the rudder and elevator. Used gorilla glue to patch the tail and fill in the holes. Instead of poking a hole in the spout I took off the lid. After aa day it takes a pair of pliers to get the lid off and its getting hard. But it works so does the tape.

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Over the years I bet I have thrown away hundreds of $ worth of glue,paint,stock finish due to it drying out. There are arasol cans of heavy gas that you can put into the containers to displace oxygen and prevent drying out. I have no idea how much it costs or where to find it though.
Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
You could store the G Glue upside down in a glass or can.
Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
I think they'd have to get it in liquid form, like licking drips off the floor... I'd guess the dried product isn't fatal, but it's only a guess.plowboy 45 wrote:Hummmmmm, wonder if a coyote would like it
Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Simply squeeze all the air out of the bottle before sealing. The moisture in the air cures it.
Kind regards,

And, then put it upside down in a small cup, or container? It's what I do with my honey container....Duh, on me....Tycer wrote:Simply squeeze all the air out of the bottle before sealing. The moisture in the air cures it.

The gas is dry nitrogen. The nitrogen doesn't react with the paint or glue as it is 99.9999% inert. The lack of moisture keeps it from activating the glue. I also think nitrogen is heavier than air, so it forms a dry inert layer over the top of whatever you are trying to preserve.
Good luck,

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Am not a fan of gorilla glue as there is not a solvent that will work on it. I use a ton of cyanoacrylate glues (super glue) due to available solvents and accelerators and varieties of available viscosities. When I need a permanent repair, I like good old JB weld. I have some in the shop that is twenty years old and has not hardened up due to its two part nature. My few experiments with gorilla showed that it stains badly, and has a huge squeeze out time involved. No time for that in my shop. The down side to CA glues is the short shelf life usually associated. It keep it in a cooler, which seems to stretch the shelf life.

Re: Gorilla Glue Rant
Polyurethane glue. It's a dark amber, clear, sticky stuff that foams as it cures. It's ok stuff, but won't really do much that isn't better done with either regular wood glue or epoxy.mikld wrote:Whut Gorilla Glue youz guys talkin' 'bout?
