Frequently Asked Questions
Gorilla Wood Glue is water-resistant and ideal for most indoor and outdoor projects, and is safe for indirect food contact once cured — making it the better choice for outdoor builds or food-adjacent projects like cutting boards and serving bowls. Gorilla Ultimate Wood Glue is 100% waterproof and offers up to 15 minutes of extended open assembly time.
All Gorilla Wood Glues require only 20–30 minutes of clamp time. Full cure takes 24 hours. This short clamp time lets you move through assembly steps faster without sacrificing bond strength.
Gorilla Original Wood Glue is water-resistant, passing ANSI/HPVA Type II standards — suitable for most outdoor applications. Gorilla Ultimate Wood Glue is fully waterproof, passing the stricter ANSI/HPVA Type I standard, making it the right choice for outdoor furniture, decking, and planter boxes exposed to direct moisture.
Use Gorilla Dries Clear Wood Glue when bond line visibility matters — on decorative joints, exposed edges, inlay work, or light-colored wood where a natural-toned glue line would be visible in the finished piece. For hidden joints, Original Wood Glue is the reliable standard choice.
Yes — Gorilla Wood Filler has high-performance stainability and accepts wood stain to blend with the surrounding surface. It is also paintable and sandable with high-speed sanders. It comes in Natural, White, Walnut, and Golden Oak to give you additional color-matching options before staining.
