Product Information
Full details
Original Gorilla Glue is designed for contractors, trade professionals, and woodworkers who require a heavy-duty, industrial-strength adhesive for high-demand, large-scale projects. Its primary benefit is a high-strength, waterproof polyurethane formula that expands into materials to create an incredibly durable bond on wood, metal, stone, and more; however, users should be aware that the glue expands during curing, which requires careful clamping and cleanup to ensure a clean finish.

FAQs
Is this glue safe for food contact?
No, Original Gorilla Glue is not intended for use on items that come into direct contact with food or beverages.
Can I use this on plastics?
It is not recommended for use on polyethylene or polypropylene plastics, as the glue will not adhere effectively.
How do I remove excess glue?
While wet, it can be removed with a dry cloth or mineral spirits. Once cured, it must be removed mechanically by sanding or scraping.
Does it work on glass?
Yes, it can bond glass to other materials, but ensure both surfaces are clean and the bond is held steady during the long cure time.
How long does the bond last?
When applied correctly, it creates a permanent, professional-grade bond that is highly resistant to impact, moisture, and temperature changes.
Troubleshooting
Glue is taking too long to cure
Original Gorilla Glue is moisture-activated. Lightly dampen one side of your project with a damp cloth to speed up the curing process.
Glue is expanding too much out of the joint
You have likely applied too much adhesive. Apply a thinner bead and ensure you use adequate clamping pressure to contain the expansion.
Glue has hardened in the nozzle
Trim the tip of the plastic nozzle with a sharp blade or utility knife until you reach a fresh, liquid section.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely strong and durable bond
- Waterproof for exterior use
- Bonds dissimilar materials effectively
- Excellent for high-volume trade use
Cons
- Expands during curing, requiring firm clamping
- Longer set time compared to standard super glues
- Requires moisture for optimal activation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the surfaces being bonded are clean, free of dust, and slightly dampened if necessary. Apply the glue sparingly to one side, as the expansion can cause it to ooze from the joint. Once applied, clamp the pieces firmly for at least one to two hours, allowing the glue to set fully for 24 hours. After each use, wipe the nozzle clean with a dry cloth and ensure the cap is tightly secured to prevent moisture from entering the bottle, which will prematurely harden the contents. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
