Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces
Customer Review: Very Effective, Significant Expansion Upon Drying Requires Caution
Summary: 4 Stars
After having a bottle of Gorilla Glue sitting around unopened for over a year, I decided to use it on three repair projects. The first was for multiple joints on a flimsy Ikea Malm chest of drawers. The second project was the reattachment of a shoe sole. Both projects were successful. However, the significant expansion of this polyurethane adhesive caused quite a mess. This degree of expansion (~4X), while beneficial in many regards, is something every user should anticipate. As an experiment, I also tried Gorilla Glue on third item - a plastic handle of a pair of scissors. This was a failure as the glue didn't hold for more than a few uses.
Gorilla glue was particularly effective on repairing my Ikea chest of drawers that had multiple broken joints. Where these joints had failed around the metal fasteners, chips of particle board broke free. Most were too small to recover and reattach. The expansion of polyurethane filled the voids. In fact, I which I used Gorilla glue when I first assembled it as the breaks probably would have never occurred in the first place.
The second repair project was for a shoe with a sole that had delaminated. After being gouged by the only shoe repair shop within a reasonable distance of my residence, I decided to do this repair myself. My concern originally was that I didn't have a hydraulic press to provide adequate compression during the drying process. Fortunately, I was able to find two hardware clamps that worked well. At the time, I didn't realize how important this was as Gorilla Glue expands so much that without mechanical clamps, too much polyurethane would have formed between the sole and body of the shoe. Hence, I was surprised to find a fairly significant mess the next morning as the expanded glue leaked out and dried onto the sides of the sole. While this mess was an irritation, the sole had remained firmly attached.
The third repair was with a cheap pair of scissors with plastic handles. As I expected, the bond didn't hold. Presumably, Gorilla Glue is more suited to porous materials.
Summary of Results:
1) Ikea Malm chest of drawers: Gorilla Glue worked well for the repair of the broken particle board and the securing of the metal pegs in the still intact sections. Some mess due to the expansion. Two weeks later and it is still rock solid.
2) Repair of shoe sole: Major mess due to the significant expansion but sole is still attached very securely. The yellowish adhesive that was squeezed out to the perimeter is very noticeable as it dripped down the sides and expanded further.
3) Repair of plastic scissor handle: Didn't hold. It appears that lack of a large, porous area made Gorilla glue a poor choice, which is what expected in the first place. Will try a cyanoacrylate alternative.
Pros:
Strong
Adheres to multiple substrates
Expansion can strengthen bonds by filling voids
Cons:
Expansion can create quite a mess
Bottle hole clogs easily
Doesn't seem to work well with plastics
