Would this be a good glue to use? I’ve been itching to apply the handrails on my HO SD70M, but I don’t have any CA. So I was thinking Gorilla Glue would be a good substitute (after all, it’s “the toughest glue on planet earth!”). Anybody here every used Gorilla Glue on an HO model?
That stuff needs moisture to work, then foams up and expands. It would hold, no doubt about it, but i’m not sure how it will end up. Better practice on a scrap shell if you have one.
Ill second CPD’s comment in that it expands…alot. I would not use it for fine detail like handrails.
Use this for roadbed and other large scale adhesion projects. It will NOT work for small=scale projects. (I’m a woodworker, I know!)
Gorilla Glue is not suitable for small detail work at all. It is a polyurethane based glue that foams and swells up during the setting process, and it will probably just pu***he parts back out of their mounting holes as it cures.
Thanks guys. Glad you warned me!

Happy to help. One of the bid things in this hobby is using adheisives in the right situaions.
Hey guys, if Gorilla Glue won’t work, what about super glue?
Most Super Glues are CA, so sure, it will work!
Again, make sure it will work best for the situation in which you intend to use it. Try it out on expendable stuff first. Best, Lawrence
