Correct ?
In any event, when would one use this Gorilla glue rather than, e.g.,
the typical 2 part epoxy ?
Would be for a wood project.
Thanks,

Gorilla glue is just like so many other products; they don't stand out in any particular catagory.
For wood, white wood glue has the advantages that it dries clear for a nearly invisible repair. It's not very water resistant, and so you don't want to use it outside.
For wood, LePage's PL Premium construction adhesive has the advantage that it's about the strongest glue you can get for gluing wood together (except perhaps for a two part epoxy), and it's completely waterproof like epoxy, so it can be used outside.
LePage's has modified their PL Premium formulation to produce construction adhesives with higher initial tack, but so far as I know, the ultimate bond strength after curing is still the same as with the original PL Premium.
So, if you want a near invisible repair, use white wood glue. If it's bond strength you're after, PL Premium is the way to go. Gorilla Glue is one of those other hundreds of adhesive products that doesn't stand out in any particular catagory.
