I find it difficult to work with compared to other glues, I realize it expands 3x.
trying to establish its need in my craft cupboard glue arsenal.

    Chairs. Have two dining room chairs on my bench right now being glued and nothing works like Gorilla Glue.

    I find it difficult to work with too! because of the expansion process. I have used it mostly on repairing wood furniture and filling in small holes on wood. I just use E6000 on most of my projects.

    Due to it expanding I do not care for Gorilla Glue. Go to Walmart to see all the possibilities and types of glue.

    I have never had an expansion problem, it all is in how much Gorilla Glue you use. I use it or CA glue all the time.

    Thank you for the replies. Aggravated with the expansive overfill today - more than I expected and now tedious picking to chip away to remove edges.


    Wasn't sure if this glue was worth keeping. I fixed a clear birdfeeder dome with it- until I found a dome replacement--as IMHO its a ugly glue as it cures.

    I am a huge fan and use it all the time now - I even use the Gorilla glue sticks in my glue gun now.
