• FOUR THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW!!!!

  Four things:
  
  1) Elmers is as good as Gorilla but cheaper. I've used this, PL and Gorilla and can't tell any notable difference. Have not used Sumo and from what I understand it sets up faster but has a much more limited shelf life.
  
  2) This has a limited shelf life and you probably don't need as much as you think. PU glue foams up and you use a LOT less than other types of glue. That means that 8 oz is a BIG bottle - I can't imagine buying the 16 oz bottle. PU Glues suck moisture out of the air so unless you plan on using it up within a year or two, a lot is going to go to waste. Don't ask me how I know this.
  
  3) PU Glue is FANTASTIC for lots of things but woodworking glues are still better for woodworking. They are stronger and you can't clean PU glues up with water the way you can even with the waterproof Titebond products. Also if you use biscuits you will have to moisten them separately to get them to swell.
  
  4) KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS! PU glue is waterproof and will swell and harden inside the digestive tract creating a blockage. There is NO antidote and surgery is typically the only solution. There have been MANY cases - just search Google "Dog Gorilla Glue"
  
  

• Worked for my gate project

  I purchased this versus the other polyurethane glues because it was the right size bottle and less expensive than the others. Getting the right bottle size is important, as any glue you don't use within about a year of breaking the seal just hardens up.
  
  I needed to double-up an eight-foot 2x6 redwood beam without using a lot of fasteners. This glue was the right answer, with one lag bolt at each end. I wedged some boards in as clamps for the first 24 hours, and followed the directions regarding moisture-basically wiping down the twenty-year-old, bone-dry board with water before gluing. Now, a few days later, the two boards make a super-solid post. Polyurethane glue expands, which is good for filling irregular surfaces (like 20-year-old boards), but if looks matter, you will want to scrape off the excess that will squeeze out of the joints before it hardens. And excess glue WILL squeeze out, count on it.
  
  Overall, a good product at a good price.
