Product Information
Full details
The Gorilla Glue 500ml (Yellow label) is a heavy-duty, industrial-strength adhesive engineered for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a permanent, high-strength bond across a wide variety of materials. Its primary advantage is its ability to expand into joints and surfaces, creating an incredibly durable hold that is resistant to environmental stressors, though users should be mindful that it expands as it cures and requires clamping for optimal results.

FAQs
Is Gorilla Glue food-safe?
No, it is not recommended for use on items that will come into direct contact with food.
Can I use this on plastic?
It works on many materials, but it will not bond to polyethylene or polypropylene plastics.
How do I remove it from my skin?
Try scrubbing with a pumice stone, a rough towel, or an exfoliating soap. Do not pull the skin apart forcefully.
Does it work underwater?
While it is 100% waterproof once cured, it is not designed to bond items while they are submerged.
How long does it take to set?
Clamping is required for 1-2 hours, with a full cure achieved in 24 hours.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not curing
Gorilla Glue is moisture-activated. If your surfaces are bone dry, lightly mist one side with water.
Glue has expanded outside of the joint
Wipe away excess glue immediately with a damp cloth or mineral spirits. If cured, it must be removed mechanically by sanding or scraping.
Bottle nozzle is clogged
Use a small pin or needle to clear the dried adhesive from the tip. Ensure the cap is closed tightly after every use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using, ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil or grease. For best results, lightly dampen one of the surfaces with water. Apply the glue to the dry surface, press the parts together firmly, and clamp for 1-2 hours. Full cure strength is typically reached within 24 hours.
Storage Care: Always wipe the nozzle clean with a dry cloth before replacing the cap. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place. Because the adhesive reacts with moisture in the air, ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the glue from hardening inside the bottle.
