  • This video shows you how to fast cure Gorilla Glue using common household items. You can control how much the glue expands or not, how to make it into a paste etc. Typical cure time is 30 to 45 min instead of 1 to 2 hours or Overnight cure...

    Thanks for your interest in Gorilla products and for sharing your video with us! We've done a lot of tests on this subject and here's what we have found:
    Adding vinegar to Gorilla Glue to hasten the reaction has the same effect as adding plain water. Vinegar is mostly water and that’s why you are seeing these results. The reaction of the vinegar with baking soda generates water, but this is much less significant than the water content in the vinegar itself...

    Lotta toxic comments(sad people)... thanks for going through this process. Interesting to see the differences. Everything has its place and this helped me as I needed to join a a few pipes for something I was building and the foaming action of this glue bonded and filled in the gap between the two different pipe diameters.

    While baking soda and vinegar do react to produce water, household vinegar itself is 95% water. Its unlikely you are making enough water from the reaction to make a difference in the overall amount of water.
    Per the reaction below, each mole of soda (84 grams) produces 1 mole of water (18 grams). So your approximately 1 gram of baking soda produces about 0.2 grams of water or about 4 drop of water (assuming 1 drop is 1/20 of a ml) You are already adding several drops of vinegar and therefore several drops of water water.
    NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

      Not gonna lie. This sounded absolutely impressive😁, but after the 3rd sentence, 🤔my brain interpreted-(in Teacher’s voice from Charlie Brown): “Wahm wahm wahm wahm waaaah” 😆. I will assume your values are accurate. Chem class was too many decades ago for me…😁 I appreciate your analytical critique!

  • @MLMForShyPeople
    @MLMForShyPeople  10 років тому +3

    Yes, if you use too much water or vinegar/baking soda, the glue will foam up too much and become weaker. My experiment indicates that for every 10 drops of glue, 1 drop of water or V/BS gives the strongest joint, but the glue with more baking soda, so that it turns into a toothpaste consistency was quite strong. When gluing material like wood, just wetting the surfaces should give you a quick set. The most common mistake is not using any moisture at all,

  • @deltabravo5719

    Any chance you went further and tested outcome strength of sample variations against only glue in a wood to wood type test?
    You did a great job.

  • @andrewmeyer2300
    @andrewmeyer2300 8 років тому +8

    Good work! A few questions: Will I have time to clamp up the project using your technique? I'm concerned that the BB/V/BS mix will foam aggressively and make it difficult to get a tight joint. Not to mention that as it starts foaming, I may have GG goo all over the place. Is this a concern? Also, does this technique materially affect the strength of the bond?

    But what about it's material strength after adding the vinegar and Baking Soda? A brick with added curing speed-up might not hold up to the test of a 20 story building! Curing time adds strength! That's why when they put concrete table tops in a pool of water it hardens better! Shortcuts aren't always better!

    Using Gorilla Glue doesn't call for using globs of it... just a thin film... directions say that it usually achieves 80% strength within 2 hrs and overnight for 100% strength. Not sure I want the bubbling action and any possible air pockets in the bond... might weaken the final bond for the sake of only a little time saved. Well-intentioned but I'll stick with manufacturer directions.

    • @d.jensen5153
      @d.jensen5153 5 років тому +1

      Depends on what you're doing with the GG. For cabinetry I'd stick with mfgr's directions (no pun intended). For foam RC airplanes, I almost always add water. It does no good to have the glue harder than the material being joined. Major differences in Young's Modulus creates stress concentration at the interface of the two materials - the very thing you don't want.

    • @anamokena-nicol6830
      @anamokena-nicol6830 3 місяці тому

      Naw, if it is designed to be dampened to foam a little anyway probably not unless you dilute it way too much and use the wrong product for the job- a filling glue is not the same as a strictly bonding glue, and if you clamp, much of the bubbles will disapear from being squished out. But air bubbles INSIDE a strength requiring structure can weaken something if the material used vs force applied is incorrect. Many materials can cope with circles or bubbles because the inner fibres or inner cores are long and thin which gives them flexibility and tensile strength, a bubble in a brittle or short fibre thing will give lower impact and tensile strength or reduced 'adhesion/cohesion'. I used this plain foam glue on my shoes exterior sole because nothing else would work and it was waterproof, kept them edges stuck and was flexible enough to move with my foot.

    I agree that the glue will be weakened on a per square inch basis, but sometimes you need a fast cure and the remaining glue will be more than strong enough for the application.

  • @MLMForShyPeople
    @MLMForShyPeople  10 років тому

    you can just add water, but its difficult to actually mix the water into the glue. Also, it makes the resulting bubbles vary too much in size. Adding both vinegar and baking soda really helped keep the bubbles even in size, making a better joint for gluing.

      @@JupiterJamie I think I did try it with a lightweight foam to see. I never got around to building another led lamp to test. I wanted to pot some electronics, yet keep it as light as possible, yet offer some good crush and ruggedability. I recall getting something lighter than the glue, and stronger than the light weight spackling. It wasn't fingernail proof as I recall. It would have taken some formula tweaking to find the right balance, and still might have needed a painted on hard epoxy resin shell, or something to make it harder, but keep it light.

    It’s not as strong when you add the water and baking soda or the vinegar and baking soda what happens is the water or Vinegar through the thermal exchange heats up expands in small pockets of steam causing it to phone but it also weakens the bond when it’s totally dry it’s still good but when you check tensile strength it’s about half of what it would be if you left it alone

      Interesting response! Would it change the integrity of the glue, in your opinion? Would it make the bond less secure than water alone? The baking soda until its like toothpaste one at the end of the video looks so different to gorilla glue when it's cured, I'm thinking it must have changed its structure and how it bonds.
