I shaped a swallowtail fish and before it could get glassed a fan fell out of the window and broke off the swallow tail. I’m pretty bummed about it!
The pieces of foam fit back together perfectly - should I use gorilla glue to glue them back together before glassing?
I’m going to color the board and I’m not that worried about its appearance.
The white Gorilla Glue only. Tape it so it doesn’t fall off. With a damp sponge wipe off the excess glue and tape with masking tape.
GG?
Hell yeah!
Use the “brown” with regular pigment for custom glue ups.
A thin squigged coat on both sides.
work, let foam up thin out, when ready
a spray of H2O to set it off, clamp away!!!
Expands like Hell.
I have tested GG vs resin.
Guess who won…
ooh, I like that Matty.
I’m interested to know what sorts of tests you did to compare the two.
Welp…
I’m Matty not Stoney…
No science, math or chemstry.
Just hanging out talkin’ shit and throwin’ down a few, by the bone pile.
Grabbed a few bones with USB glue lines and someof the GG.
Passed them out to the highly talented surfers sucking down my beer.
The consenses is, both will snap. The surpising thing is if you don’t snap the GG pieces
they rebound back to shape, the foam is done and the next go it snaps quicker.
My though? Maybe something that will flex under a pounding.
Fact stringers and foam fail.
Lots of fun doing colors though.

saw a piece on a cabinet maker in HI, who used brown Gorilla Glue to finish his pieces…squirt some on, use his fingers to spread and work it into the wood, wiped off any excess…done. Looked great, really brought out the grain, said it super sealed the wood.
