I found this stuff the other day at Menards. Has anyone here used it?

I’ve used it multiple times in the past. I like how it doesn’t stink to high hell, but give it extra time to dry.

I haven't used it myself but Gorilla adhesives in general don't have a good reputation. I would and do suggest just sticking with the tried and true PVC glues.

I've had good luck with Gorilla Glue products over the years. Which ones don't have a good rep?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Gorilla Glue and Gorilla PVC are the same company?? I'll let everyone know what I find out.

I like the pvc glue sure it stinks but dry's quickly & we "know" it's safe for our tanks.

I have a can of this laying around and was wondering the same thing...

Gorilla PVC and Gorilla Glue are two different companys. Not sure how Gorilla PVC is getting away with copying the Gorilla Glue logo?? You have to put the two logos next to each other to see the differences.

They don’t have a working website and Menards has their products on Clearance. I have a bad feeling they might not be around in a year or two. If they are I would bet Gorilla Glue is going to force them to change their name.

I have problems with Chemical Sensitivities so I cant use products like Oatey without wearing a respirator. I’ve been using the clear PrimaGlue for the last few weeks and so far I like the stuff. It doesn’t smell good but I can use it without having to wear a hazmat suit!! ;) My only complaint so far is it dries white or a yellowish white not clear. On white PVC I don’t really care.

I think I’m only going to use it on my drain pipes and look for something else for my returns. The company just seems a little shady and I don’t know if I trust their products long term under pressure.
