Product Information
Full details
Original Gorilla Glue is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-strength, versatile adhesive for home repairs and woodworking projects. Its standout feature is its polyurethane-based formula that expands into materials to create an incredibly durable, waterproof bond; however, users must be careful with application amounts, as the expansion can create excess foam that requires cleanup if too much is applied.

FAQs
Is Original Gorilla Glue safe for food surfaces?
No, it is not recommended for items that will come into direct contact with food or beverages.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it sets in 1-2 hours under clamp, it requires 24 hours to achieve its full, maximum strength.
Does this glue work on plastic?
It is not recommended for use on polypropylene or polyethylene plastics as the adhesive may not bond properly.
How do I store the bottles?
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the cap tightly closed and wipe the nozzle clean after every use to prevent the glue from curing in the bottle tip.
Can I paint over the dried glue?
Yes, once the glue has fully cured and been sanded, it can be painted or stained to match your project.
Do I have to use clamps?
Yes, clamping is essential to ensure the materials stay in contact while the glue expands and sets.
Troubleshooting
Glue is foaming excessively out of the joint
You have applied too much glue. Use a thinner bead next time and ensure you are clamping the materials firmly to control the expansion.
Glue will not cure or takes too long to set
Ensure the surfaces are slightly dampened with water. The polyurethane reaction requires a small amount of moisture to activate properly.
Glue is stuck on skin
Wash the area with soap and water immediately. For dried glue on skin, use a pumice stone or a skin-safe exfoliant; do not attempt to force it off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful bond, surfaces must be clean, dust-free, and slightly dampened. Apply a thin, even layer of glue; remember that the expansion properties mean you need much less than you think. Clamp the materials firmly for 1-2 hours to hold the pieces in place while the glue sets, as the expansion can push pieces apart if they are not properly secured. After use, wipe the bottle nozzle clean and tightly secure the cap to prevent moisture from curing the glue inside the bottle. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
