I tried the glue on the liner of my eyeglass case. I moistened one side and gorilla the opposite side. I clamped the 2 sides together. I thought great! The next morning the liner popped open and came right apart. Gorilla glue is deficient! Im very disappointed. 😕
Why does Gorilla glue suck?

Were both surfaces clean? Moistened with what?
Moisture is just a catalyst, it takes almost none (a plant mister will do) What you need for a good bond, is to wet both surfaces with the glue (doesn't take much) rather than with water (especially, water changes the dimension of wood, so will guarantee a bad bond). Then mist the glue and clamp the parts together.
Gorilla Glue makes many types of glue. I have never had an issue with any Gorilla brand glue when used as intended and as instructed.
No moistening required with Gorilla Wood PVA glue or Gorilla super glue.
all i can say is gorilla glue sucks ! nor iuser friendly in terms or workability or clean up and the dispenser top is also poorly designed
Well once you learn to use the product, and the proper Gorilla product, it becomes much easier to use.
Gorilla glue for wood, similar to Tite Bond I, II, and III is simple to use.
Everything and I do mean everything has completely failed from their tape to their glue .... everything....it use to be the best stuff on the shelf....now I'll never buy it again
When was it the best? Never actually!
There's nothing wrong with the tape AFAIAC.
Maybe it's user error?
There is actually nothing wrong with their "wood glue". The wood glue that is like Elmers wood glue, and Titebond wood glue.
