About this product
The Gorilla Super Glue XL provides a robust solution for a wide range of repair needs around your home and garden. This versatile adhesive paste utilises a cyanoacrylate formula, known for its strong bonding capabilities when used correctly. It’s an ideal choice for those tackling DIY projects or needing to make quick fixes on various materials.
This 25g bottle contains a medium viscosity adhesive that dries quickly – typically within 45 seconds – offering a fast-setting solution for tasks such as repairing ceramic, glass, metal, and wood items. The rubber-toughened formula offers enhanced durability, resisting impact and shocks better than standard super glues, and the anti-clog cap ensures easy application between uses.
Designed for value, this Gorilla Super Glue XL is a practical choice for small repair jobs around the home or workshop. The larger 25g size provides lasting use for multiple smaller projects. It’s compatible with a variety of materials including wall repairs and plastic fixes.
Please note that while water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water will eventually weaken the bond. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results and consider the fast-setting nature of the formula – allowing minimal time for precise part positioning before the adhesive sets.
