Default Re: Refixing loose valve bases

I'm wondering if Serious Glue, being a moisture curing glue is similar to Gorilla glue? I have used the latter on many occasions for anything from brick and concrete to wood and it REALLY sticks! The one thing is that it does do is swell - which is good for void filling but it also seeps out of the side of the joint. In practise not really a problem as it can be removed before it is fully cured, or afterwards - I use a very sharp chisel. It has a kind of hybrid, 'hard' surface when cured but not glass hard. I've never given it a thought before but I bet it would be good for refixing valve bases.
