Woodglue...

Gorrilla glue expands and can knock joints out of alignment.

Wood glue.

Gorilla glue only bonds the surface. Wood glue penetrates the wood fibers and forms a chemical bond

wood glue. Chemical bond > physical bond.

They both hold well but the advantages of using wood glue dominate that of Gorilla Glue.

The bond may not **** but the clean-up and mess created sure as hell sucks. I had a bottle explode while applying it one time. That sucked pretty hard and it was on my hands for days.
