Tough as Texas

I was making a concrete table top with the state of Texas inlay. I was using the Gorilla Glue to hold the river rocks in place while I poured the concrete into the form. After the concrete had cured, I was removing the form piece by piece. When it came time to flip the concrete over to remove the bottom board, it would not come off. I tilted the form onto its side so the weight (400lbs) would free it from its bond. Not happening. I then used a dolly to get between the form and the slab to pry it up. I might add that I used just a drop on each rock to keep them in place! After seeing this with my own eyes, I am definitely a firm believer in the strength of Gorilla Glue.


Old Awning? No Problem.

A group of us, went to Old Forge NY to spend the weekend in this quaint old town and also visit the water park there. Around 6 PM on Friday evening it started to rain. Slow at first but soon it was a steady downpour. My awning is about 12 or 15 years old and had many small holes in it; consequently we all got quite wet under it. The next day, my buddy came in our site to show me the radar on his phone…heavy rain was headed our way, again! I decided to try and do something with our awning to keep us dryer than the night before. I had purchased a roll of Gorilla Tape from the Hardware Store that afternoon to keep in my camper. My nephew and I began to tape up the holes in my 19’ awning and used the roll I just purchased plus ½ a roll my brother in-law had in his camper. We finished just as it started to sprinkle and within 20 minutes it started to pour and lasted into the early morning. We stayed up and played cards until 11 pm and never once had a drop of rain come through the awning. The tape is one great product!!!


Gorilla Goes Fishing.

I wanted to say that Gorilla Glue saved me a bunch of money and time spent. I'm not sure how it happened , but I was on vacation and the transducer for my graph on the back of my boat broke off. There wasn't a shop that had a replacement transducer, buying a new grapfh wasn't in my budget and musky fishing without a graph is improssible. I took off the transducer and it broke at a section that was less than half an inch. I aplied some Gorilla Glue, let it set for a couple hours and the darn thing held for the entire week! The transducer was in the water for the whole week. My boat goes about 35mph so that water pressure was applying directly to the the transducer. I am absolutely amazed that it held. Gorilla Glue never dissapoints! Musky fishing without a graph would have been next to impossible, not to mention just dangerous driving on that lake. Excellent product!

 


Gorilla Tapes Tops it Off!

Gorilla Tape has replaced my sunroof! I went and Got Gorilla Tape and made 2 layers, one on the top and one inside to cover the sticky side, and 3 strips on the top for extra hodl. The tape saved me from having to buy a new sunroof! It has been through a tough test, between this winter and all the rain. It doesn't leak and it hasn't even peeled off. I LOVE GORILLA TAPE!

 

Gorilla Saves a Tree.

Approx. 2 years ago my Bradford Pear tree (40',12 years old) had the tree trunk split down the middle about 3 feet or so. I decided to fill the split with your liquid Gorilla Glue and today the tree is healthy and the split is okay!!! I shaved off the excess glue and painted it brown to match the bark. I really feel Gorilla Glue saved my tree that now about 50-60 feet high and in full bloom! Thanks!
