Don't purchase!!!!! Use it successfully, BUT expect the remainder in the bottle | applicator to harden into a worthless cylindrical lump!

When I had new tile installed in the kitchen, bathroom and hall wall on the first floor of the house the person that sold it to me (and also installed it) seemed like he knew what he was doing. A couple of weeks after he put down the tile I started noticing gaps between them. Months later the tiles started coming loose and I knew that it was only going to be a matter of time before they actually became uprooted from the flooring. That means that when I went to mop the floor there would be a good chance that water would get under the tiles and could cause mold to start growing or damage the flooring. A friend of mine that does construction came by to look at the floor and was just amazed at how horrible a job the installer did. He helped me pry up the semi-loose tiles, clean the backs of them, vacuum out the sections where the tiles were removed and use the Gorilla Glue on the backs of the tiles. We weighted the tiles that were glued and left the weights in place for a couple of hours. There was no way to remedy the gaps between the tiles without using caulking which would have looked horrible. I was impressed with how well the glue worked on the loose tiles and when others start showing early signs of becoming loose I used the same technique to remove the tiles, clean them and glue them. Since then I have used this to fix things inside and outside the house; it worked great on the large plastic planters that I bought a couple of years ago that developed cracks from being exposed to the summer heat and sun and the low temperatures in the winter. I used it on the inside of the planters and it formed a solid bond in about an hour.

I was very disappointed with the results of a recent repair that I used Gorilla Glue on. According to the label, the adhesive in this glue should have held my cabinet hinges together. Instead, the glue was runny, messy, and ineffective. To make matters worse, once the glue dried to the cabinets, I had to use a razor blade to remove the dried mess from my cabinet doors, which damaged them.

Gorilla Glue is the absolute best glue. It is extremely tough and durable. First, you need to moisten the surface that you are using with water, then glue your item(s)-careful not to use too much because it has such a strong bond, and then clamp your objects for a few hours. Gorilla Glue can be used on virtually anything-glass, wood, stone, metal, ceramics, and much more. You can use it during building-like on fences, steps, trim, furniture, etc. It makes repairs strong and durable. I even use it to glue the soles back on to my shoes. Be sure to use gloves when using this glue.

This product has been a great help several times to us. There was one time we actually had to use this on a wooden door that had major problems. The door fell completely out of the wall with the hinges attached to it. The wall where the door had been attached was so severely striped it could not be repaired with out having to replace the whole trimming of the door. We applied a decent amount of the glue to the nails (still attached to the hinges), to the hinge itself and, then to the door way. We really did not know if it would work but, at the time we didn't have another option. It took quiet sometime to dry but, after it was all done drying the door held for along time until we had the money to replace the doorway. This is also great to have around when you have purchased this such as desks and nightstands from walmart where the quality is questionable. The glue does dry a very obvious color and well of course it is hard to get off (isn't it suppose to be?). The price might make a first time buyer look twice but, it is very much worth it.

This glue is very strong, but is a little difficult to use and take awhile to dry. It also can ruin your clothes and is hard to remove if it gets on something you didn't mean for it to get on. If you use this glue, use it carefully.

I had heard alot about gorilla glue over the years but never used it. I got a good deal on the 3 ounce size and bought it. The first time I used it I did not read the instructions on how to use it properly. I had no idea that this glue would expand like it does as it dries. I had a mess after it finally dried. I applied too much of the gorilla glue and did not premosture as it directed. The next time I used the gorilla glue I followed the directions. We had a furniture drawer that had come apart and I did not see an easy way to fix the drawer. The bottom of the drawer was not very thick so I good not use nails or staples to fix it. I told my wife why not try the gorilla glue. I added the mosture as specified and added a thin coat of the gorilla glue all around the drawer bottom. We added some weight so that pressure would be added to the joints where the glue had been applied. The next day we were very pleased with the results. The drawer was solid again. Gorilla glue does the job very well idf you follow the directions.

I particurally love Gorilla's Wood Glue. My house is filled with antique or just old furniture. I am not the kind of person who likes to replace a chair just because the leg is a little loose. About once a month I find there is always something that needs to be clamped and glued. What I like about this glue is that it dries much faster than conventional wood glues. It is easy to apply and doesn't leave a residue that is impossible to remove. I can simply glue for example a busted chair leg, clamp it for about thirty minutes, and not have to worry about it breaking open again. The glue is also very safe to use. I am never afraid of getting a skin reaction if I get it on my skin. The smell isn't as strong as other glues but if you have sensitivity to chemical smells I would stay away from the fumes. You do pay a little more for the name but compared to conventional glues Gorilla glue does have a quicker dry time with clamping which for me makes a huge difference in my every day life.

I don't specifically remember what we first purchased this item for, but I remember being amazed at how well it worked when we used it. We have used it several times since then on different projects around the house (we are remodeling so we've used it more than the average homeowner probably). It seems to hold it's bond quickly and extremely effectively. It does tend to ooze a little, but we also didn't have any problems washing it off like we did with other types of glue. I would say this is our replacement for crazy glue and it works on most surfaces as well. I have yet to find a need for glue that this product didn't work perfectly for. It's a little pricey, but really it's not bad considering the price of super glue for such a small little container. It does dry colored, but depending on where you are using the product that may or may not matter to you. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone in need of a fast acting glue that lasts.

Gorilla Glue is as strong as super glue because it holds almost anything together but it works on more surfaces than super glue.  It can hold together a lot more heavier items.  We have glued together shutters and furniture.  It has held up very well, especially on the shutters on our house.  Gorilla Glue takes a bit longer to set and you have to clamp it or hold it together for a while before it will hold together.  Once it's set it holds together pretty strong.  Sometimes it doesn't work every time.  There is quite a bit of glue in a bottle since a little bit goes a long way.  One downfall about it is that if you put too much on it starts to expand and it shows the white foam on the piece you're glueing together.  It's very hard to get it off if you don't want it there so the expanding is a bit annoying.  It can be easily painted so once it's expanded it can be covered to match the material.
