Gorilla glue worked well for me on some teak pieces that needed restoration. What kind of wood are you gluing?

yup Gorilla glue is some serious glue....dont forget to read the directions if you have never used it before
because you need to wet the parts first to get the glue to activate.....dont worry about the glue that foams out and bubbles up out of the joint it chisels and sands away easily....

Yep, Gorilla glue is some tuff stuff! I'v used it alot on different things and been very happy with the results. I'll probley use it when replacing the transom and entire bottom on a Carolina boat this week.

whats the best way to store gorilla glue. last bottle i had cured in the bottle before i had a chance to use it. Is it something i should store in the fridge? to make it last longer between uses.

great question....hope somebody knows the answer...I always buy the smallest bottle I can find because I rarely get more than 2 uses out of it before it goes south on me.

not sure about gorilla glue, but i use alot of pvc glue and we store it upside down. no matter how tight you put the cap on, a little air circulates and the glue goes bad over time. turn the can over and the air is trapped in the bottom of the can and can't circulate. i've had a can in the shed at home for about 2 years.
might work? pancake, is the pine pressure treated? i know epoxy dosen't get along with PT |

yes it was pressure treated pine. i thought that would be the best/cheapest to use for some replacement parts that were originally teak or some other type of wood on my boats.
