Gorilla is nice glue, I use it a lot because its so much easier to deal with than epoxy. THe only failure Ive ever had with it was in an oiled paddle, where the shrinkage pulld one joint partway open.

Titebond and System THree both make similar products, for more reasonable prices. I dont like the Elmers product though, it seems to set up differently and is not as strong.

: Thanks Dave
