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...
Love your tape and glue!!
Can you believe that girl was actually stupid enough to put your glue in her hair?
@@thinkingaloud4777 LMAO 😂 😂 😂
Holy shit gorilla glue replied

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!
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,
Stella example of testing at home...
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.
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?
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Very helpful and informative! Bet you had fun doing it too :-)
you can't test rigidity and adhesive strength by poking your finger into it.
if the adhesive strength is retained then this has value.
thnx
Especially if you can't get your finger out!
Patience is a virtue.
Thank you for doing the research, I'm a terrain builder for models and have been looking into using GG for structured ground.
This helped me when i made my kokichi ouma carboard cutout. Thank you very much。
I want to know what GG and water - produces what gas fumes? It makes me nauseated even wearing n100 solvent mask. I think it must be absorbing though nitrile gloves or the fumes. The fumes hurt my eyes. Well ventilated.
Edited for clarity cause GG already making me loopy.
So it sounds like to me that the Gorilla Glue is not as good as super glue let me know if I'm right or correct or uncorrect
Good job man, you nailed it!👍
Wouldn't the glue joint be weakened by the additional gas bubbles in the mixture? Anywhere there's gas, there isn't glue.
How does the baking soda and vinegar affect the utility of the glue? Holding strength? Longevity? Etc...
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!
So the lession is:
When you need rock hard globs of urethane on index cards, use Gg, vinegar, and baking soda.
I'm sry but your comment was funny 😂😂
Smart A$$
how did you make glue water and baking soda?
very cool and useful experiment
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Will the vinger and baking soda work on elmers glue
Thanks! It helped me a lot
Thanks useful time well spent .
This is interesting. I think I will apply it to sculpture and sculpture Maquette making.
I gorilla glued something plastic and metal I want it to soften so I can take it off
So if I moisten my knife handle in vinegar? It'll cure quicker? That explains why it took so long to cure. I kept it in dry spots, warm but dry. Over 27 hours to harden properly. Top job. Thanks heaps! Cheers from Australia
Did you do a bond strength test??? How brittle was the toothpaste compared to the normal glue????
Thanks for the video , very informative. I'm a knife maker and my patience sometimes runs thin .
Dope video bro and nice explanations💯
Does it weaken the joint though?
Super informative man
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.
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.
This is an awesome trick thanks
So could I simply add some drops of water straight into my gorilla glue bottle, to help it react later once used???
Or do I need to wait to add the water once its applied to the thing that needs gluing??
David DelaGardelle - I would NOT add water to the glue bottle!!! put water on the broken item, THEN glue. and make sure you CLAMP the two pieces together!! gorilla glue expands and your pieces will not meet anymore!
I just lightly spray Windex or Fantastic spray on top, after I apply the GG straight.
Can you provide an application example?
Mix with 25% elmers glue, makes the hard foam in about 30 min. Great for filling gaps without having to buy the one-time use cans from the hardware store.
This is really good to know too!
This worked really well, dry within 1 hours - thanks :)
Put wet toilet tissue between the two items to be cured and glue on the items... Cures semi firm in minutes and gets a strong bond, requires no clamp
Strength test please?
Very interesting...
Thank you. I was having curing problems wit this glue. I now know what to do. :-)
Right. My gorilla glue wood glue i still tacky 12 hours later and now I know why, thanks to this video. I will read the tiny print on the bottle again with a bigger magnifier!
What about just mixing it with water?
I hate the foam, it messes up my project
What was the reasoning to skip water and use vinegar as your moisture source? What will be the difference in using water directly as opposed to adding 2 ingredients that then create water? Or is the water created slowly to allow for more time?
speeding up the drying process read the video title
He wanted the co2 so used vinegar to react.?
Surely the air bubbles inside the glue after it has cured will weaken the strength of the bond
StatesStyle This glue foams up by design, weather you add moisture or not.
Just a few drops of water works the same and is easier.
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. Lessons in online buying, not everything on sale is good lol
Can you show how to did it?
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.
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.
Thanks for presentation that hits it for this old engineer.
What about just using water?
yea, i think with your method, it's going to make actual repair work more brittle.
That's what I am thinking too.
Interesting....did you check
Its not for everything, but really good for wood and other porous material like cardboard and foam. I find it does not do well with plastic, glass or metals.
Super cool man
You're smart cool video
I am interested in using Gorilla Glue and spackling mixed together in order to get a lightweight foam that is still hard for potting Electronics. Do you think this would work?
I know this comment is 2 years old, but it's a very interesting idea! Did you ever try it?
@@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.
Man i mixed 1/4oz of vinegar into 3 oz of glue and then added a tiny amount of baking soda and the glue expanded so quick it was useless and dried so fast it could not be used and fed not poured
You should have made the video showing how you mixed this test... Also should have just used vinegar only then used baking soda only in the test...
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
Wow this guy really listened in class
cool video. btw for what it's worth sushi seasoning has sugar in it.
Finally, these results can vary depending on the way it’s mixed together, the size of the mound of glue, and even temperature.
We hope this information is useful - it is an interesting test! Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help. Thanks for being a great Gorilla Fan!
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.
Very good video Sir . I would be hesitant to try this because adhesion hasn't been proven. I prefer to trust the Gorilla Glue Company with maybe a touch more water
Thanks
very good
Just put in a pot add water and bam! you got moisture without baking soda or vinegar!
ok, so I guess I'd be guessing as to how much to use. I don't want it to ooze out! so 10 drops and water! The rope piping is coming off a shoe I've only had for a summer, wore about 4 times.
Netty D - make sure to put a clamp on any pieces you glue together! Gorilla glue expands!
You say "But, when you mix in baking soda AFTER you put in the vinegar drops . . ." What happens if you mix the baking soda in the GG, THEN add the vinegar? What happens if you mix the B soda and the vinegar together, THEN add to the GG?
+Lisa Lannom volcano....
+Sam Derp. - true, I forgot about THAT particular reaction!!
try dibutyl tin dilaurate., or triethylenediamine or Bismuth/ lithium carboxylates.
Interesting
I fail to see how this helps in the process of applying glue to pieces to be joined with the added BS and vinegar. This is extremely vague at best. I am #37, sorry.
It just makes the glue dry faster so you don’t have to hold it for an hour
Glue hack? Scientific experiment? Impatient? Why? Awesome! Perfect for my upcoming fast tacking project deadlines! Another interesting UA-cam video! Like, really? I dont know whats worse, doing this experiment and documenting on UA-cam or watching it entirely? Dos this experiment work with Loctite? Very well done! Thanks, will try. Looser...
Good deal! (all comments from everyone)
(my comment)
lol, nice!
#triggered
You are LITERALLY a life saver. I know this is 7 years later but I just want to let you know how thankful I am :)
Btw I used the ‘clear grip’ gorilla glue and it worked great
Guessing the hard glue is a lot less sticky and more prone to cracking too....
I'd like to see additional testing on bond strength.
YEA!
I'm impatient too
So I guess my question is when you look at the video or their commercials all the gorilla shows up and puts a girl in Blue on there and oh it works perfect that's not how it works so it's false advertisement just wondering if that's how you feel
I mean I bet it cures a lot faster when it’s squeezed between two object rather than one blob. Just like a gallon of water pour on a surface will evaporate faster than in a bucket.
I though it was CA glue that hardens with water. Not poly glue.
Good glue i like
Sir this gule is posbel matel to matel goint
Super glue and baking soda sets up instantly compared to gorilla glue and 2 other ingredients. It's a good experiment but super glue and baking soda is how we repair helicopter blades.
Really?? That's amazing! Thank you for this comment! This video was super interesting to watch, but this comment was just as interesting 👌
What the fuck am i watching lol
i actually searched for this video... it was informative... but im probably not going to use it... the amount of glue i used cured in about an hour anyway...
- Boss one drop two drop three drops 57 drops
Sorry... were you able to check hoe tje mixtures affected the strength of the bond?
Can you use Gorilla Glue Clear in the same way?
I was wondering the same thing...I actually came here looking for an answer to the goopy clear "permanent repair" gorilla glue
The clear kind, used with water like the standard GG, doesn't foam much and seems to form weaker bond.
Typing this comment as I attempt to finish assembling Ikea. Dresser with this stuff at all places. The fumes from it get so bad I wear a noxious fume respirator. But I need goggles bc my eyes start to burn. 2 drawers left to go.
Why not just add water
urethane does not "cure" with the evaporation of water. it cures by polimerizing and oxidation, if clamped to 150lbs it will tack enough to unclamp in 45 mins depending on temp and humidity.
Nothing like being high and bored . 🤣
cool
EXCELLENT!
Why wouldn't you just add water & nothing else
They should rename it to Harambe glue
lol
In memoriam 😂😂
AH it's one year ago, ill give you a pass
U made me almost pee damn fool lol bout rename it harambe
yass
Looks like same stuff as Evo Stick
As thick as you got that you would expect it to take longer to get hard also when you add baking soda it changes color I'd rather have the clear then have it look like baking soda which shows up and looks bad .. follow the instructions on the bottle a lot of tests and research was done by Gorilla Glue people for the best way for this to work for you ...that's the way I would go..
The first 16 words of your comment had me 😂😂😂😂😂
Or mix it with the glue
great for fireworks FYI.
Instead of mixing vinegar and bicarbonate to "make" a bit more water... the vinegar is already 95% water... why not JUST MIX IN ONLY WATER instead...??
+Bawb Lablaw the vinegar contains acetic acid which releases carbon dioxide gas from the bicarbonate. That makes the mixture more foamy than it is already.
+jeb bushell that is true, but that has nothing to do with the stated purpose of creating more h2o... which cures it, which was the point of the video. Inflating the foam with co2 and sodium acetate weren't mentioned as contributing to that.
smoosh it
Bullsh!t to tooth paste consistency. Hmmm I'm going to tell people that when they are telling a vast tale. Sounds catchy.
Just mix it with water. Water is... moisture.
