I talked with the makers of the Gorilla glue a couple of years ago, and they referred me to a link that was from the US Forrest service. According to the studies of the Forrest service, the bond between two woods using Gorilla glue was significanly greater than with any other tested glue. I thought that to be very intersting. Through my own tests I also found out that the bond between two woods joined with Gorilla glue was even greater if the surfaces of the wood to be glued was damp prior to applying the glue and the pressure. I have used Gorilla glue to repair delaminations in bamboo and it worked surprisingly well. One of those that I repaired 2 or 3 years ago or more, is in my regular arsenal of rods that I fish and it can't even be noticed in appearance or in feel.
