I do remember reading a thread not that long ago about the Gorilla brand of SG. I forget exactly what type it was, but it caused all sorts of issues to the OP's tank.

I have used the gorilla brand before with 0 issues. I normally use the loctite brand gel SG. Been using that brand for years with 0 issues,

I've used the gorilla glue with green cap for years with Acro's. Maybe that guy bought something different. Or maybe he had other issues going on.

You know what they say...don't blame the salt! :)

I have also been using gorilla green cap SG gel for a long time. Only brand I have used where the tip doesn't gunk up and is thicker than most other super glue gel brands. Plus its widely available.

It is decent glue. My go to is BSI gel. Haven’t found anything else that I like more than that. For some reason it’s a little easier to work with and I make less mess than with the gorilla glue.

If we're thinking of the same thread I believe they were using a different gorilla glue product. The green cap has always been good to me!
