Product Information
Full details
This 10-pack of Original Gorilla Glue is for DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, and professionals seeking a robust, waterproof adhesive. Its key benefit is its strong polyurethane formula that expands to fill gaps and bonds a wide variety of materials, ensuring dependable repairs. A potential caveat is its expansion during curing, which requires careful application to avoid unwanted overflow.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does Gorilla Glue expand when it cures?
Yes, Original Gorilla Glue expands as it cures. This expansion helps to fill gaps and create a stronger bond, but it also means you should use it sparingly and be prepared to wipe away any excess uncured glue.
How long does it take for Gorilla Glue to cure?
Gorilla Glue typically sets in 1-2 hours and reaches full strength within 24 hours. Clamping the bond for the initial curing period is recommended.
Is Gorilla Glue waterproof?
Yes, Original Gorilla Glue is waterproof once fully cured, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture may be present.
Can I use Gorilla Glue on plastic?
Gorilla Glue works on many types of plastic, but it is not recommended for use on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics, as it does not bond well to these surfaces.
How should I store unopened bottles of Gorilla Glue?
Unopened bottles should be stored upright in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed. Avoid extreme temperatures.
What is the shelf life of Gorilla Glue?
For best results, it is recommended to use Gorilla Glue within one year of opening. Unopened bottles may have a longer shelf life if stored properly.
How do I clean up uncured Gorilla Glue?
Wipe away any excess uncured glue immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel. For tougher residue or skin contact, mineral spirits can be used, but use cautiously and ensure good ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Glue won't dispense or is too thick
Ensure the nozzle is clear. If the glue has begun to cure in the bottle, it may be difficult to use. Try gently warming the bottle in a bowl of warm water.
Excessive foaming or overflow
Reduce the amount of glue applied. Ensure surfaces are not over-dampened. Use clamps to hold pieces together securely and wipe away any excess uncured glue immediately.
Weak or failed bond
Check that surfaces were clean and dry. Ensure adequate clamping time and pressure were applied. Verify that sufficient moisture was present for curing (especially on non-porous surfaces).
Glue is difficult to remove after drying
For cured glue, mechanical removal (sanding, scraping) may be necessary. For skin contact, gently peel away softened glue or use mineral spirits, avoiding prolonged contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease. Lightly dampen porous surfaces (like wood) with water for optimal curing, but avoid over-saturation.
- Apply Gorilla Glue to one surface. *Note: The glue requires moisture to cure, so dampening one surface or ensuring ambient humidity is beneficial.*
- Press the surfaces firmly together. For best results, clamp the pieces for at least 1-2 hours, or until a solid bond forms.
Compatibility:
Gorilla Glue is compatible with a wide array of materials including:
- Wood
- Metal
- Ceramic
- Stone
- Foam
- Glass
- Paper
- Fabric
It is *not* recommended for use on certain plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene.
Care:
- Wipe away excess uncured glue immediately with a damp cloth. Dried glue can be difficult to remove.
- Store bottles in a cool, dry place, with the cap tightly sealed. Refrigeration is not recommended.
- For best results, use within one year of opening.
