Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane glue.


Gorilla Glue is a brand name of a line of glues and adhesive tapes for various applications, from home to industrial.

Gorilla Glue wood glue expands when it cures, creating a foam 3x thicker than the original application. The wood contact surface should be moisturized as the glue is water activated. Uncured glue can be removed with solvents, such as acetone.[1] Glue that has dried must be removed mechanically.[2]
