How well does Gorilla Glue adhere to glass and metal?
Q. I ask because the pendant on my necklace fell off. The pendant itself is made of glass and doesn't have a necklace-hole, it was held by some type of adhesive to a small piece of metal connected to the necklace. I was wondering how well gorilla glue bonds glass to metal? It seems to be sturdy now but hey, :/

A. The people that make Gorilla Glue have done an excellent job of marketing a product that is not the best thing to use for most applications. It's messy, expands as it dries, and expensive. The only thing I've ever seen it used for in industry or in a professional setting is to stick polypropylene or polyurethane foam (Gorilla Glue is made from polyurethane) to substrates or itself. There are much better adhesives for use with wood, metal, and glass, as well as any combination of them. I'd use two part epoxy on your locket because it dries clear and is formulated to hold different materials together while staying waterproof. Gorilla Glue dries a pale yellow color, and as Queenofyak said, it expands as it dries so it's hard to control how… [cont.]

How can I remove Gorilla Glue from my carpet?
Q. I managed to get some gorilla glue in my carpet and don't know what to do to get it out. The carpet is about medium length. I know that for every compound there exists a solvent which can dissolve it, so I guess the question is, how can I disolve this gorilla glue without destroying the carpet any further? Thanks for your help.

A. Anything that would dissolve polyurethane glue (such as Gorilla Glue) will take your carpet right along with it. The best you can hope for is to scrape, pick, or maybe comb out most of it.

Is gorilla glue a good idea for wedding centerpieces?
Q. Hi am doing wedding centerpieces and am adding ribbon and pearls to a glass bubble bowl with a hot glue gun, but when I see them the next day the are falling off. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use gorilla glue?

A. gorilla glue is a moisture cure urethane that bubbles (CO2) from the reaction with water. It won't work well for this project. go to the hobby shop and buy some acrylic hobby glue (gold bottle with white lettering). Called Aleen's Tacky Glue. super clue can work. It is not the best choice- the bond is not stable with water. It also leaves white residue all over the place from the reaction products inside (inhibited by O2, accelerated with alcohol).

Is Gorilla glue super glue the right right choice here?
Q. I snapped the plastic headset on my xbox 360 wired mic. I wanted to use gorilla glue's super glue product, but wanted to know, is this plastic compatible? It says will work with some plastic, but I don't know if it is the right type. Otherwise I will buy their normal gorilla glue, or even both. What is the best choice. Krazy glue sucks, I tried it. It hasn't worked... I am talking about Super glue that the gorilla glue people make. Is it going to work? Is it actually better than other super glues?

A. The regular gorilla glue works with wood. Have you tried super glue? Clean the area to be glued well with isopopyl alcohol(next to rubbing alcohol). After applying the glue use clamps or tape to hold it together until the glue dries.

Q. There's a thin film or gorilla glue on my leather coach. How can i get rid of it without damaging it?
Asked by - Sat Sep 25 22:41:15 2010 - Cleaning & Laundry - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Try rubbing adhesive remover on it until it loosens and then wipe with a bit of lotion to take it off. Now buff the area gently. Usually gorilla glue is set pretty good but this might help to take it off if it is a thin film. Other wise if it were a heavy coat it would be more difficult.

How well does gorilla glue work on foam noodles?

I just made my sword with pvc, a foam pool noodle, and some contact cement. the "blade" stays fine but the pommel came off.

Asked by Hooch - Sat Aug 15 21:53:47 2009 - Hobbies & Crafts - 2 Answers - Comments

A. I think that Gorilla Glue (and other brands of polyurethane glue) stick to most anything, with a death grip, but you might want to check out the bottle or info online to make sure it works with "foam." Gorilla Glue expands as it cures though and is yellow, so you'd need to weight or clamp it while setting and also wipe away any that extruded that you didn't want to be visible later. I'm pretty sure that 2-part epoxy glues would work on polystryene foams, but there is also at least one brand of spray glue that works in particular *for* polystyrene foams, so you could try that too... here's some info from my site about that: Super 77 spray adhesive, by 3M ...spray adhesive lightly onto each surface, wait until tacky, and then press… [cont.]

What will hold glass block to a formica bar top better...Silicone or Gorilla Glue? ?
Q. I'm having a company put together some block for me, but I have to glue it to my formica bar tops. They swear on the silicone, but others from Home Depot say the Gorilla Glue does everything it says it does. Any experience with the 2?
Asked by thebigern57 - Tue Nov 18 23:57:59 2008 - Do It Yourself (DIY) - 10 Answers - Comments

A. Glass expands and contracts. The silicon stretches. The Gorilla glue does not. And chances are that these gus have done this before. Have you? I have been using silicon for years. I have seen what Gorilla glue does also. It expands, but it does not contract. After expanding, it becomes hard. Thus, if th eglass expands, it will break loose. Listen to to the guys that know what they are doing. They will have asked the pros themselves if they were not sure. Why don't YOU ask the Home Depot people? They might actually know what they are talking about for once. My son is a contractor. Listen to the guys doing the work...okay?

Is it possible to get gorilla glue off a wooden floor?
Q. I wish I could say my pre-schooler was working on an art project, but it was my college student who was working on a project with gorilla glue and has spilled several patches of glue on my wooden kitchen floor. Short of having it sanded and re-stained professionally, is there anything I can do to get if off? Pretty sure I already know the answer, but I'm holding out hope for a miracle reply. Thanks! OMG Woodwerk - thank God for you! I will that !!
Asked by what's up? - Sun Jul 6 09:45:34 2008 - Maintenance & Repairs - 3 Answers - Comments

A. sure you can. the glue will not have as strong a bond due to the polyurethane on the floor as it would if the wood was bare. apply heat via a hair dryer or a household iron with a thin towel over the glue just till it starts to soften and break the bond. then scrape it up with a thin putty knife. after that a little acetone will remove the residual resin.

A. The biggest problem with gluing anything to concrete is the surface needs to be absolutely clean and free from any loose material. About the only way to assure this is to chip away the surface so you have fresh concrete exposed. Rent a hammer drill and use some mechanical wall anchors such as lead anchors or similar method of attachment. There are probably three or four choices for the type of anchor to use. Take a look at the local hardware store and choose the one that best for your application.
