gorilla glue

Pfishermanfred. First welcome to the FAOL board. My experience with Gorilla Glue has been bad due to expansion. It sort of "grows" during the curing process. Also has to sit a lot longer than most 2 part epoxys. My pennys worth.Jim

Gorilla Glue is an absolute mess ... it runs everywhere, expands like a runaway corporation, stains EVERYTHING in a most permanent fashion, etc. To make matters worse, you MUST wear a high-end respiration device to sand the stuff - the dust is highly TOXIC.

I strongly suggest using a product designed/modified and tested for rod building purposes. Rod Bond is a very good choice and works extremely well. It is the friendliest product on the market due to the paste like consistency.

Another option is Titebond II ... not III, but II. It holds well, cleans up with water and doesn't stain or have toxicity issues. I suggest it ONLY if someone just can't stand the thought of making the purchase of Rod Bond through a component supplier. Titebond II can be purchased at the local hardware store.

I think with Gorilla Glue you are stuck. I think there even was a thread on here about someone who used G. Glue to mount his reel seat. Then discovered it was opposite the guides. He asked for help on how to remove it. The advice given was that other glues can be heated up and removed. G. Glue cannot. Therefore...his advice was GET OUT THE SAW and saw it off! In other words if you are that confident you will never make a mistake......
