Guy's I have not used this glue, so I am looking for ways to successfully use it, and which one have you found works best? Thanks a lot
-
Gill brother...here are about 30 formulations of glues Branded as Gorilla glue
Some are excellent for some applications and some are pure disaster for some applications
Any Way..
Gorilla is a brand not a specific TYPE of any glue
Gorilla has :
Cyanoacryliates (CA)
Poly U glues....foaming and non foaming
Wood aliphatic types...sort of like Elmers or Tite Bond
Rubberized concotions
J&B weld type concoctions
and a lot others I do not directly recall as I write this
The best advice I get here on the web forums is to try to describe the task I want to do and ask what is best method and products
Not trying to be a butt head but you just asked way too broad a question
Gorilla glue for Balsa skinning a foam wing core is vastly different for the best Gorilla glue to form up a rib n spar wing
IN my person bin of adhesives I have well over 15 different brands and types for various tasks....and grin -----it would sure be easier if there was ONE perfect go to glue to crate a good solid stiff model

Fred, I have to apologize about being so late to say "Thanks" please don't hold it against me but now I want to say Thanks a lot...

The green foaming stuff is great for foam wings. It used to be THE Gorilla Glue, until they branched out.
I have some clear foaming stuff that also works great on foam wings, but I don't know if that's their current clear formulation. Someone needs to try it and report back.

I have used the white Gorilla glue on a lot of foam wing repairs. It comes out of the bottle clear and foams up white as it hardens. Works miracles in repairing foam wings quickly. I put my wing back together at least 15-20 times as I learned the pattern. https://www.gorillatough.com/product/white-gorilla-glue/
There is a new "clear" Gorilla glue that apparently does not foam and dries clear. I must try it. https://www.gorillatough.com/product/clear-gorilla-glue/

Hey Brent -- thanks for pointing that all out. I saw the clear come out and thought "oh holy ****, they've gone and taken away my favorite!" I suspect that we'll still want to use the white foaming stuff on foam -- I'm curious now what chemistry the clear stuff is (I doubt it's urethane).

Here's the SDS for the clear Gorilla glue. Those of the chemical interpretation persuasion can divine ingredients better than I.

Well, I can't tell you exactly what it is, but from the list of solvents it should be great if you're inclined to get high by sniffing glue. I should get some and try it out (to stick things together, not to get high). In a well-ventilated area, and without drinking any.

According to the data sheet, it's a silicone glue(sylyl, siloxane) the first two ingredients. The rest are solvents. The piperidin stuff usually has a nasty smell, but it isn't very volatile. You certainly wouldn't want to drink it!
Use gloves and eye protection.
