About this product

Formulated as a PVA glue, this liquid adhesive is designed to be easy to use and clean up, simplifying your projects. It’s ideal for both experienced carpenters and those new to woodworking, offering a reliable fix for various tasks.

The 4 ounce (118ml) bottle contains a powerful wood glue suitable for a wide range of applications. You can utilise it indoors or outdoors, passing ANSI/HPVA Type II water resistance standards. This versatility makes it perfect for projects such as furniture, carpentry, and general repairs involving wood – including hardwoods, softwoods, and natural composites. Full cure time is 24 hours, requiring only 20-30 minutes of clamp time to achieve a strong connection.

The glue dries with a natural colour, offering a paintable and sandable finish. The low viscosity allows for easy application, while the formula’s cross-linking PVA provides superior strength compared to standard wood glues. It's also designed to create a clean bond line without foaming, simplifying finishing touches. Clean up is straightforward – wipe away with warm soap and water.

Please note that whilst water resistant, this glue isn't fully waterproof; for outdoor applications requiring complete protection, consider Gorilla’s polyurethane formula. The 150g bottle comes with one unit of liquid wood glue, perfect for smaller projects or as a convenient addition to your workshop supplies.
