That is the Brand name, they make many different glues, epoxies, and cements.

Yes, it works

It is an expanding glue, so it penetrates porous surfaces and will fill all gaps and spaces. I would scuff surfaces that are really smooth and hard, like plastics and resins.
Metal, not so much, unless you have a good flat surface to flat surface , maybe. But if you were to use a combination of screw/rivet fastener with the glue, you may see better results

It dries very hard, not so much brittle, but doesn't flex well.

Don't get it in your fingers!
It won't hurt you, it just won't come off.
You'll have to pretty much have to wear it off your skin if you get it on you, it's that sticky. Only other thing that comes as close is sprayfoam insulation in a can.

I've used it for everything I want stuck together forever, I swear by it

Ps
Many days spent drinking beer in the back yard watching people trying to pick up a couple of dollars in change off the sidewalk with NO results... just cheap fun

Works well, these guys have been stuck together for a bout 8 months now.

I have used thier 5 minute epoxy alot and it works good .

 

[Mudflap]

I used the standard Gorilla liquid glue to cement a plastic Streamlight lite box headlight housing. Didn't think it would work but worked well. The stuff does expand so clamp the heck out of it.

I used it to repair a plastic picket fence that a neighborhood brat tore up. Has held up for over three years.

I like it.

I used the original it to hook the wood base of an outdoor weatherstation to an iron (painted) flagpole and it held for over five years. Was still hard to remove after a flag-pole catastrophe and I had to replace the pole.

It may not do well with HDPE plastic - like the bottle it come in.

The white version I use frequently with foam R/C models. Works great for that - even the float planes.

If I REALLY need to fix something I use J-B Weld or 30 minute epoxy (or longer).

you guys come up with some amusing answers. cant clamp it. too hard of an area to sand it. its a real tight area to get too. but for sure its hard plastic. if anybody cares why the problem is ? the transmission solenoid has a wiring harness with 8 wires going to it and a single 8mm bolt through the center holding it down. well sure as s_ _ _ _ with my luck there was a lug melted into the plastic of the recessed area that the bolt screws in to and it broke out of that recessed area with some of the surrounding plastic. and theres dielectric grease in there and probably some trans fluid too. so i thought will i be lucky enuf for this stuff to work. otherwise i might have to get another shift solenoid. and if you're wondering what this is on ?? second generation dodge grand caravan with the 4sp overdrive trans. i need a good luck charm ! swear words are'nt working that good anymore. thanks all-

i like the your statement at the bottom of your post Charlie ! i dont know whos on my side these days it sure fells like the government isnt. i never felt more like a PEE-ON than i do these days. anybody else ?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Definitely J-B Weld.

This gorilla glue works great! for plastic like that you need to light sand it to give it something to grip to, just after you sand it wipe it clean with water and it doesnt need to be dry, just apply after you wipe down and it works great!

Just read a post where its dirty, get this electrical cleaner that will remove the grease and dry on its own, also maybe wrap a little sand paper around the end of a stick and rough up the surface best you can.

If you can' t fix it with a hammer , it is an electrical problem.
Hard telling on your connection without being there , but if wire connections are good ,a broad plastic or nylon washer might fit under the 8mm bolt.
JB weld will make a bracket or pylon and be a good insulator in a heat or cold environ , but you want room for your hands to make/ work/ shape it.

 

[Limitool]

Not a "Gorilla Glue" fix. I agree with Charlie...use JB Weld. AND USE THE SPRAY FIRST. JB Weld will work but the surface has to be clean and totally oil free. Spray, wait a couple minutes, wipe or (close eyes) and use an air hose.

I have used it and found I like Rhino glue even more....

 

[nomad 11]

I have used it and found I like Rhino glue even more....

why ? what applications have you used it on that convinced you ?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Used Rhino to glue the convertible top glass back to the coated vinyl where stitching for glass has dry rotted, it lasted for two years till I sold car. I have used Rhino glue to glue soles of shoes back on for wife and many other applications, it glues anything to anything.

I ordered Rhino glue on line. Rhino Glue - Home

5. Maybe 6 years ago I went to Atlantic City with my Nephew.

I never lock my Back door.
But Did that weekend because I knew it would be a Long one.
with my vehicle there so people may knock and walk in like normal.

When I got Home the Key wouldn't Work in my door.

so I Grabbed the Handle & Pulled, snapping the Metal & Breaking the Handle off the Door .

I used Gorilla Glue to fix it.

Looks like Hell, Like Something Growing on the door Handle as it Expanded.
People probably hesitate to Grab it
and wonder if I threw up on the handle







But it never come off

Top part is Metal Glued to Metal.



Bottom Metal Glued to Wood




I prefer PC-7 but



JB Weld is just as Good.

I use PC7 on my Detecting Shoes .
The Sole always Rips off My Left shoe
From Neeling to dig & Pushing myself Back up after



But It is something I have to Update occasionally due to Cracks.

Gorilla Glue Holds Longer though.
and is water activated.
so moisture makes it expand more and work better.
I just don't want my shoes to look like there are Mushrooms Growing on them
when I walk into the Store.

I second the JB Weld, but there are other 2 part epoxies that will work just as well. Why wouldn't you just buy a new part for your transmission, I would hate to be stranded if it broke again.
If the part can't be found it can probably be made from plastics you have ready for the recycle bin, milk jugs, bucket lids. The HDPE will mold very easily, then can be drilled to the size you need, or if you know someone with a lathe wood or metal he can turn it to n exact fit.

It expands very much.
