Gorilla glue is a terribly wonderful thing.
When they say keep it away from pets and kids - MIND THE WARNING - the fact that it expands when curing, especially in contact with water - can be deadly!!!!
I lost a dearly beloved friend and companion on Xmas day this past year after he got into some gorilla glue. It didn't take much consumption of the "maple flavored" syrup to expand into a small-pumpkin sized ball in his belly.
After surgery to remove the ball, then various infection attacks, a week later - we lost him. What a way to start off Christmas morning!
It is a glue that does wonderful things, but it can do terrible things too. Wish they'd add some 'bittering agent' like they've started to do with antifreeze.
I know some of you are dog-lovers too, so just be careful out there. No shelf is high enough is what I learned!
