I have tried a few kinds of wood glue in the past, and nothing seems to live up to Gorilla Glue. This stuff bonds wood, stone, metal, ceramic, etc. It is totally waterproof, paint-able/stain-able, easily sanded and has a long open working time. It also contains no carcinogens and does not release fumes. If bonding wood, Gorilla Glue recommends dampening the wood slightly. You only need a little glue since it “foams” and expands a lot. In fact, it is good to be careful with it near finished surfaces. You may find it foams a little too much if you are not sparing with the application. Gorilla Glue creates a great, strong bond. Available at most home improvement stores.

About Marc Lyman
I’ve found and used a “3x faster and dries white” version in a handy
2 or 3 oz bottle for about $4.00. Trouble is that I, in a haste to
quickly mend a valuable china cup, mistook it for my Gorilla Super
Glue (FANTASTIC STUFF – broken glasses hold up to 3 months at
a time before my son smacks me in the head while wrestling again and I have to call time out to fix ’em). Anyway… the white stuff foamed as much as the original brown, and blew apart the cup again! Luckily no one was around when shards came tumbling off the display shelf and I was able to mend it after much scraping of the white foam.
Doh! I could see how that case of mistaken identities could occur with those small bottles. May I suggest plastic tumblers instead of fine china for your house (and for mine)! I like bulletproof polycarbonate! ; )
