gorilla glue

makes me messy

that crap getts all over me somehow every time i use it.

why

i literly had to shave my fingers / finger tips with my face shaving razor to get the black dried on glue off.

moral of the story = cut good and have super tight fitting wood pieces so you can just use tight bond glue instead of having to use an expanding foam glue to help seal not perfect cuts or stupid shaped box designs.

did a bit of fiberglassing inside my box today with my head inside the box thru a 12" sub hole and doing 3 layers of matt and resin was less messy than working with the stupid gorilla glue.

fiberglass > gorilla glue

rediculus.

side note - i have a lump in my trunk floor that i cut out for in my new box so it sitts flat on the trunk floor. i have about 8" by 3" to cover with glass matt.

today i got 3 layers down on the inside of the box and am going to do 2 layers covering outside the box tomorow at work.

will 5 layers of matt be strong enough ? when ppl build boxes out of glass how many layers of matt usualy go on ? im a wood kinda guy... wink wink

for those that dont work on cars and have never heard of gorilla snot, its basically weatherstriping glue. very sticky and stringy and messy. awesome stuff tho!

FYI...gorilla glues *****, not strong at all. Have tested it in the past, wood broke apart at the glue joint every time with that crap. I prefer to use wood glue when gluing wood. Crazy I know...

If you have some gaps you can always mix wood glue/sawdust to make a paste and fill them in.

You are right OP, good measured cuts and wood glue beats out the rest of these solutions by far!

I know this thread is old but jesus a box of 100 latex gloves costs like $5 and saves a hell of a lot of hassle/cleanup later...
