strength of polyurethane glue - it's strong!

[Harley]

I found Selleys Liquid Nails as well might try it later.

Don't - an absolute waste of time and money IMO because it's the wrong product for this application

IN addition, I've even yet to find a decent Selleys product that lives up to its promise

so mr. Harley how thick is the Gorilla glue? as thick as tooth paste?

[Tim A]

I wonder how viscous the PL is? I imagine it's liquid enough to squeeze into joint easily.

Nope, it's thick, like caulking.

Liquid Nails is crap.

Liquid Nails is crap.

I agree, for most things.
Put the stuff under my sub floor on the stringers before I screwed it in hopes it would stop cracking and squeeking and didn't do squat.

I wouldn't have a clue as I generally never use the stuff on my toothbrush....my dentures would stick together and I would not be able to say anything on this forum....however....Gorilla Grip Express ( made by Holdfast ) is a 100% expanding polyurethane and if you moisten your jointing faces like the instructions tell you, you will have the strongest glued joint you can get.

Proof that every cloud has a silver lining!

Hey Harley, ever used expired Gorilla Grip? The stuff on the shelves at Mitre10 is "off" by a couple of months, might be able to get a deal on it.

Btw, I notice no date code on any of the Selleys "it doesn't work" stuff.

I've used some that was 1 year over date and the cabs still hold up fine. But from a store demand fresh stuff. There are other brands of 100% expanding polyurethane in tubes - I have one out in the shed, I'll post the brand as an edit shortly.

Sikaflex®-252 is yet another brand but it's rare to find that at Mitre10. I must have used that 'other brand' tube up. Just keep looking around on the shelves of hardware stores, ones more set-up for the builder than the great unwashed public.

DIY also means FIY

btw we do you live now ?

I rest my case.

[Gregory East]

All good to know ta.

FIY = find it yourself ??

Still in Queenstown.

Yep!

Where you are it could be Hobson's Choice unfortunately.

TradeMe is my friend. Roughly how many 310ml tubes for a t39? I looked in the plans and searched my arse off but no answer to such a simple question.

depends on how much you distribute on your tools benches and body
you can easily build a box with one tube, but then someone posted a picture of his build where the bead was at least 12 mm high, that looked like 5 tubes per cab.
So it's really a function of how accurate the fit, how fearful of leaks and how messy you are.

[Harley]

Roughly how many 310ml tubes for a t39?...

Buy three...you may have 1-1/2 left over...they'll be for your other T39

If nothing left over then your overalls will certainly be able to stand up by themselves....and no...Gorilla Grip is no substitute for Viagra - ask Bruce

...and searched my arse off....

It's not compulsory to place your head between your legs when you Google - did you know that?

[bgavin]

Gorilla Grip is no substitute for Viagra - ask Bruce

That is absolutely correct.

Imagine how embarrased the two of you look in public... permanently adhered at the working parts.

Scored some non expired off Trademe for 10 bucks a tube, less than half the price of expired stuff in store. Seller still has plenty if there's other kiwis wanting some.
