I have the same admiration for 'Gorilla Glue" although I have used other
brands (cheaper) of polyurethane glues and have found them to be the same.
Pros: Totally waterproof! longer set up time. If you have a large project
with many parts this can be helpful. The glue seems to work better than
yellow when the joints are a little sloppy. Of course you realize that I
never relish sloppy joints fits but who is perfect and sometime it is
unavoidable!
Cons: Being careful not to use too much since it expands as it dries. Stains
your skin, should wear gloves. "Excess" clean up needs paint thinner.

Who DOESN'T have a good Gorilla Glue story regarding this. When I was a
BRAND newbie (I've graduated to plain ol' newbie) I figured gloves were for
fags. Uh, can you say "dumbass"? I had two job interviews that week. Talk
about embarrassing! I was scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and
scrubbing, and scrubbing and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing...
Well, you get the picture. After a week, I finally got it all off. As to a
testament of the glue's holding ability, I didn't know how tight you were
supposed to clamp a join, so I seriously WHANGED down on the clamps. As
tight as I could get 'em... Over a year and one and a half winters down,
the joints are still perfect.
