Gorilla Glue 50018 Original Incredibly Strong Waterproof Adhesive, 18 Oz, 18 oz - Stains And Varnishes - by Toolbox Supply

Tough, expanding, sticks to everything glue. Original Gorilla Glue built a name for itself with its incredible, industrial holding power and versatility. Water activated, it expands into materials to form an incredibly strong bond to virtually anything. Gorilla Glue is your solution for almost any project or repair. It's 100% waterproof, safe for indoor and outdoor use and strong enough to stand up to the elements. Plus, its expansion allows it to penetrate the glued surface for a superior bond. Sand it, paint it, stain it. Simply stated, it's the Toughest Glue on Planet Earth. -Size: 18 ounce -Clamp Time: 1-2 Hours -Open Time: 10-15 Minutes -Dry Time: 80% in 1-2 Hours -Dry Color: Light Tan -Full Cure: 24 Hours -Tough, expanding, sticks to everything glue -Incredibly strong and ideal for indoor and outdoor applications -Industrial holding power and versatility, regardless of the surface -Versatile: easily bonds wood, stone, metal, ceramic, foam, glass, concrete and much more -Expands 3-4 times while curing to create an incredibly strong bond -100% waterproof: doesn't break down when exposed to outdoor elements. Directions: -Prepare and Dampen the Surfaces -If you're using Original Gorilla Glue for the first time, or bonding a new type of material, we always recommend trying a test piece first. -Prepare your surfaces: All surfaces must be clean, dust free and tight fitting. For shiny surfaces, such as metals, glass and some plastics, roughen up the material to give the glue something to bite into. -Damp It: Lightly dampen one surface with water. We recommend using a damp cloth or spraying with water. Do not saturate the surface. For dense hardwoods, lightly dampen both surfaces prior to gluing. -Evenly Apply Gorilla Glue Onto the Dry Surface -Glue It: Carefully apply onto the dry surface. Do not over apply. We recommend wearing gloves or spreading the glue with a disposable brush. In some instances, Gorilla Glue can be a skin sensitizer. If you are predisposed to skin reactions, please take the extra precaution. -If you do get the glue on your skin, try removing it with a dry cloth or paper towel first (particularly if the glue is still tacky). If that doesn't work, try washing with soap and cold water, or using an exfoliator with a gritty texture. Dry your skin and apply lotion. We do not recommend using any kind of alcohol or acetone. This actually strips the skin of its natural oils, which means the glue is more likely to stick. -Clamp the Two Surfaces Together Tightly -Clamp It: Make sure the clamping pressure is distributed evenly across the surface. Or, if you don't have a clamp, use heavy objects or Gorilla Tape to achieve the appropriate clamping pressure. For lighter objects, try using rubber bands to hold the pieces together tightly. Clamp objects for 12 hours. For best results, allow 24 hours to cure. -Clean up -If you need to remove any uncured squeeze out or wet glue, we recommend wiping with a dry cloth or using a standard paint thinner. Make sure to read and follow directions if using a paint thinner. Always wear gloves. Once the glue is dry, it is best removed mechanically: Try sanding, chiseling, scraping or picking. The dried glue will not damage tools. -Storage Tips -After each use, wipe the bottle's lid and nozzle clean with a dry cloth. For 2 oz. bottles, tightly replace the lid after wiping clean and store in a cool, dry place. For bottle sizes 4 oz. and larger, we suggest squeezing excess air out of the bottle. While still squeezing, tightly replace the cap and then store in a cool, dry place. This helps eliminate moisture in the bottle. You should expect a year shelf life. -Using Glue Responsibly -Importance of Reading Directions -Did you know that Gorilla Glue is moisture-activated and that the surfaces must be dampened prior to gluing? Or that proper clamping increases bond strength? Even when gluing seems simple, reading the directions will ensure proper use, and a superior bond. -Avoid Skin and Eye Contact -With all adhesives, it is smart to wear gloves or protective clothing and eye protection to avoid contact. -Gorilla Glue, in particular, can stain skin and ruin clothing. In some instances, it is a skin sensitizer. If you are predisposed to skin reactions, please take the extra precaution. It is also recommended to use safety glasses or goggles if there is a chance of eye exposure. Additional information can be found on the SDSs for each product. -Gorilla Super Glue is an instant glue and can bond skin. We recommend wearing protective clothing or gloves to prevent skin exposure. -Gorilla Epoxy and Gorilla Wood Glue can be cleaned off of skin with soap and water. It's always safe practice to wear gloves, however, these are easier to remove should skin contact occur. -Work Area -Protecting Work Area from Spills: Prior to any gluing, we recommend protecting the work surface. Gorilla Wood Glue is easy to clean up with water, but Gorilla Glue, Gorilla Super Glue and Gorilla Epoxy can be difficult to remove from surfaces. Paper towels, newspaper, or plastic sheeting can all be used to keep areas clean and damage free. Proper Ventilation: -If inhalation of adhesives causes physical discomfort, move to fresh air. -Keep out of Reach of Children and Animals -Gorilla products are strong and effective at bonding materials together. However, when misused, they can pose some problems. To eliminate unnecessary clean up, we recommend adult use only, or adult-supervised use. In addition, it is important to keep all adhesives out of reach of children and animals to prevent ingestion. -Storage -All adhesives maintain optimal shelf life when stored at room temperature in a cool, dry location. Do not store in a hot vehicle.
