Gorilla products suck.
 
I didn't like Gorilla glue (urethane glue).
well april 1st I needed a black duck tape for a gag. I didn't find it
strong at all. It is thicker than duck tape, not as pliable. And it's
level of stick is less than duck tape.

I had no duck tape at home today, so I needed to use the remaining black
Gorilla tape.. just like the first experience it just doesn't seem to
grab very well.

Gorilla products seem to be overhyped crap. The name is just that a
name. My opinion is stay away from Gorilla crap.

This was a public service announcement. :-)
Flame shields on.

I have had very good results with Gorilla wood glue, that which looks
and works like Titebond, II, III.

But they have a catchy name and a good ad agency. That gets a good
premium price.

The late Lew Hodgett described them as "over priced and
under peckered", a phrase which has stuck with me for
many years now.

I've had exceptional service from Gorilla duct tape including outside
pipe insulation with Gorilla duct tape that has held for four and five
years. There is always a roll in my truck tool box; never leave home without
it.

My experience with Gorilla Glue [not wood glue] is that it has a limited
shelf life. If you need it buy the smallest quantity you can get by with.

it has uses in some cases like filling gaps

the worst part though is the shelf life is really bad and i thought i
was storing it wrong

but no it was sealed and still hardened

no longer use their products

I've got a 2+ year old bottle sitting in my fridge that works fine.
I use small quatities and, for me, that keeps it good longer.
