Never used Gorilla glue before but bought some today and glued on a

If it cures, it cures properly. The need to moisten the board is only if
you're somewhere especially dry.

OTOH, the stuff's terrible (although not the worst PU glue around). If
I had timber to spare and an accurate bandsaw, I might well saw it apart
and re-glue it with hide glue.


I wouldn't say terrible. I've built several projects using it. All
are still together. I built an outdoor planter/bench where I used GG
on half the joints, Titebond on the other half. There's no
difference. Both are water resistant enough. Nothing's falling
apart. That project has been outside 5 years in SE Wisconsin.

I like GG in some instances for it's long open time. Well, longer
than yellow glue. Yes, foamed material has no strength. But GG in a
properly cut joint is plenty strong enough.
