So many people don't know the difference between PVA glue and polyurethane glue. Gorrila "was " one of the popular brands of polyurethane glue,a foaming glue that requires a little moisture to activate and adhere to a large range of material like wood and glass. Gorilla now make a very good PVA woodworking glue which I have used for years. ( Titebond is not commonly available in Australia) Gorilla ultimate I imagine ,is an improved PVA not yet available here. I hope this saves some confusion
Very nice quick test. I’ve never trusted the gorilla brand before as I used their polyurethane glue when I built a pack saddle for mule to haul salt licks and hay and it failed only after 4 months. I did a few tests and found UV to be the biggest culprit but even on the samples not exposed they failed within 6 months. The glue turned crystalline. I rebuilt the pack saddle with epoxy and is still together but not used in 25 years. All wood was quarter sawed white oak. I will now try their wood glue. I’ve been using TB for 30+ years. Thanks for the video. Look forward to your next video.
I also use this glue exclusively, for all projects from shaker doors to worktops, on all wood types oily olive wood, oak, beech softwood with all it performs excellently
To clarify none of the 'waterproof' glues are intended for complete immersion, or sustained continuous water, and they say so on the label. More like for holding up to rain for outdoor furniture.
Supposedly, the Titebond brand of wood glue is the best. They have by far the most documented research and testing. They have 3 types of glue: Titebond regular for use on interior wood projects, Titebond II water resistant for use on interior/Exterior projects, and Titebond III water proof which resists exposure to water for sustained periods of time. I think Titebond III would perform better than Gorilla Glue Ultimate in the water test you did although I am not sure any of the glues can hold up to soaking in water for 24 hours.
What’s written on the ultimate gorilla glue is waterproof! A waterproof epoxy can stand a 24 hours test I guess! Maybe it is water resistant but not proof, also when dry tested it also failed compared with their normal wood glue. Honestly I wasn’t expecting that, and I have bought 2 bottles 🤔
Thank you for sharing your own experience, it will be awful to use glue on a project that you have spent hours and hours to finish then you encounter such a nasty surprise. I hope this will help other woodworkers too.
It says right on the ultimate to get the wood surface damp before you glue! I use a spray bottle, mist it and let it sit for a few minutes before I glue!
hey would you consider the gorilla glue for fixing a broken guitar neck? إيه أحسن نوع موجود في مصر لتصليح اللات الموسيقية هل hide glue? اسمه إيه في مصر
Hide glue is recommended for musical instruments as you can loosen it with some water and heat gun! If this is not a concern then you can use a normal wood glue. I am not aware of the Egyptian market, but you can still order it from Amazon.
Thank you Ahmed for your comment, I use the original glue without issues too, but this new ultimate glue seems different, even its color is different! Not sure what they add to it 🤔

I never liked polyurethane glue though, now I am removing it from my shelf, thx for sharing your experience 🤝

Brilliant test. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you too!

Thank you, very informative and confirming my experience as well.

My ultimate says clean and dry. It doesn’t say anything about wetting first. I know the regular one says to do that though.
You maybe still confusing Gorilla PVA with gorilla polyurethane
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing experience 👍💐
Most welcome 🤝
👍👍 VERY NICE REALLY GREAT GOD BLESS YOU ❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰🇺🇲🇺🇲
Only wood on wood.
Can recommend glue for plastic on brick walls?
Let say plastic hook to hang lights outdoors.
I hear that glue dries clear. Is that right?
Yes, if you have a tight joint.

could I glue a piece of wood under pool table slate so I can staple the cloth to it
Why not
@@TheWoodCrafter1 yes it works I did it today on clamp's left for 3 hours
As long as it is not wet all the time and the weight is not heavy then it should be fine.
👍👍👍
What is the clamp time?
The instructions on the glue says 30 min, I left it clamped for 4 hours and some samples 24 hours
Very good test I used gorilla glue for about a year without problems but I think titebond it's still the best even though I used a little of it

👍🏻
well its made by a gorilla so its gotta be good?
oTHER WOOD GLUES HAVE A BETTER RATING THEN GORILLA
That accent. Sounds Thuringian. Please tell me I’m correct!? Lol.
