Polyurethane glue (Gorilla)

Other Names:

Polyurethane glue. Gorilla Glue.

Description:

A liquid, brown colour. Foams as it dries which fills in gaps. Water actuated from moisture in the air (humidity). Dampening of the surfaces it is applied to improves curing rate and gap filling characteristics as the adhesive foams up to penetrate cavities.

Apply the adhesive to one of the to-be-bonded surfaces. Join the parts together within 15 minutes and clamp for at least 3 hours.

Advantages:

Easy to apply. Strong. Can be wiped off with a damp rag before it sets. Sands easily.

Disadvantages:

Foams so may spread.

Handling:

Use in a well ventilated area. Fatal if swallowed. Harmful in contact with skin. Wash hands throughly after use.

Suppliers:

Hardware shops.
