[CAUT] gorilla glue

[Elwood Doss]

I'm not sure about the application, but it holds better than any glue
I've ever used.  If you use it, don't ever intend to take apart whatever
you use it to glue.  You moisten one side of the glue joint with water
and apply the glue to the other side (I think that's correct).  It tends
to "bubble up" so you may have to trim off the residue.  It holds like
crazy.  I used it on a chair rung that we had taken twice to a furniture
shop to have it reglued.  I glued it with Gorilla Glue and it is still
holding after 2 years, whereas the second repair lasted about 6 months.
This chair is a part of our Breakfast Nook furniture and is used every
day.  The stuff holds. Don't know if there is anything that will
dissolve it once it is set.  Tough stuff! 

Joy!

Say gang: tell me about this glue, Can I handle it or is it like CA and
would it be good for cracked bridges. What is it good for? Maybe broken
leggs or ripped out lid hinges?

Thanks Dale. Of course, I was hoping you'd have some magic solvent or
voodoo for me. What an awful glue...

Jim,

 

I think you'll have to cut the hammers off to save the shanks. I'd use a
band saw to remove as much as possible. then whittle off the rest. I am
pretty sure that poly glue is not susceptible to solvents after it sets.
All that said, you'd have enough time in the job to have to weigh it
against the cost of new parts, particularly if the original parts need
repining, etc. I'd guess it'd would take two to three hours to clean up
the old shanks. Unless they are unusual or costly shanks, that would be
at least half the way to new parts.

 

Good luck,

Dale

	List,

	 

	All the talk of glue brings me to this problem/question. Someone
used gorilla glue to hang some hammers that I want to remove and I can't
find ANYTHING that will work. I know I could simply buy new shanks and
flanges, but does anyone know of anything that's works on this stuff??

	 

	Thanks.
