i haven't tried it yet

but....has anyone used the new gorilla glues lately?

some "feedback" on them would be appreciated...

usually i mix up a paste of fiberglass resin and some super fine

sanding dust for a superior wood glue.

I use both screw eyes and thru wire. I drill a smaller hole first fill it with 2 ton devcon and screw them in. I've never had one fail. I recently tried the gorilla glue. It hasn't failed yet either. I have heard differing reports on whether it is waterproof. I like gorilla glue alot, but it does bubble up since it expands as it dries, and can be messy.
