Default Gorilla Glue

I had a small amount of moisture in two of the holes where the motor mounts bolt to the stringer so I cut some mahogany strip's and mixed with Gorilla glue. A day later I drilled a pilot hole and I had to damn near power the 3/8 lag bolt in. Now that is one Go-Rilla that work's.

The nice thing about Gorilla Glue is it REQUIRES moisture to set, so it's a natural around boats.. The stuff claims it's the strongest glue and I see no reason to doubt it's claim. Awesome stuff.
