I've heard that Gorilla Glue (and all polyurethane glues for that matter) are not good for marine applications because they are not completely waterproof.
Try epoxy! I've been using it for years in model airplane applications. There's a great Glen-L technical paper on the subject... I think it's somewhere on this website.
: : Check the website, Fred. In a word, epoxy.
: Don - I hear you! West Systems just told me "West System Epoxy, mixed with Micro Baloons". I looked on web - found that others are using Gorilla Glue, and some airplane building sites still use Resorcinal. I see now where Glen L sells a epoxy-based glue. Back in 76 when I built Glen L's ROUSTABOUT - Weldwood Resorcinal was the best known to man, and epoxy was just starting to show its face. That's why the question - sounds like it has worked OK? Is the "epoxy glue" the same stuff everyone coats their S"G boats also with?
