Gorilla glue clear grip
« on: February 09, 2017, 10:50:15 PM »
Saw this product the other day.  Sounds like it might work well for pot calls. Anyone given it a try before I wasted 5 bucks on a tube.

All I can say, is having sound boards fail in a whole spirng's worth of pots mid-spring is time consuming and embarassing.  Experimenting with anything runs that risk.

I have done it, because I did not know any better, just read the label, and moved on. Til the calls started coming back. With a rattle problem.

Kind of my thinking as well, why go away from something that works. It does make me wonder though ;)

I totally agree on wondering.

Ducco is what got me. Bonds anything to anything!  For like a whole day! Hahaha!

I just can't do it. Goop has the right qualities, allowing for fudge from temp changes, where one bonded material expands and contracts at a different rate than the other bonded material.

the only thing about goop, its just hard to keep from it coming out of the seal. looking straight down on a glass call and seeing glue pushed out between the wood and glass, just looks bad to me, even with a screinge, i still have problems.

after doing a little research it has two of the 3 ingredients that Marine GOOP has, missing a Styrene Butadiene Copolymer, and I have no idea what that is lol. Maybe a type of rubber or plastic?

Interesting research!

I agree on the messy look of GOOP for sure.

even using a shoot screnge, i still get that goop all over my glass, tried using a model paint brush to brush away access glue, but it seems to dry as fast as i can brush it away, i do not care how fast i am at it, it still dries way fast. should be a better way
