Default Re: Gorilla Glue: your experiences & opinions

It's a proprietary brand of polyurethane glue. Most furniture manufacturers use polyurethane now, but I understand restorers and cabinetmakers dislike it because it's difficult to remove if a joint needs to be remade. I have no personal experience of using it, as I'm not a woodworker.

When making running repairs to (low value) furniture, I use PVA for low stress joints and epoxy where more strength and/or moisture resistance is needed.

It's apparently very good for repairing book bindings, but I use PVA for that.
