Gorilla Glue?

Is it as good as the adverts claim ??

I find it good - dunno about as good as the adverts but has usually done the job for me.

Pure marketing IMO.
Usually something else that's better for the job, and or cheaper that does the same thing.

Not as good as this stuff.

Their contact adhesive is pretty good but you gotta be careful it like expands, almost like that expanding foam.

It is very strong though better than other contact adhesives I've used.

As for super glue in my opinion the biggest difference is the date/how long it's been opened. Super glue goes off pretty quickly and gets much less effective.

Good at what?
Most glues are designed for specific applications. Some are better at resisting shear force, others tension. PVA is best for soaking into wood, so will hold better than Gorilla, for example.

What do you need from it?

I've only use the double sided clear tape and for me it does the job better than the others that I tried.

I do get though that it's marketing, but for me the tape worked. I'm sure there are other cheaper alternatives out there.

They do PVA, polyurethane, superglue and probably a load more. None of them will be any stronger than other leading brands.

The original looks like a lot of faffing about by youtube.

Dampen the surfaces to activate it then clamp it as it expands and then spend 20 mins wiping away the excess before it goes hard.

I tried their tape for sticking a patch on some roofing felt type material in the loft and it fell off

Yes found it works well but as others have said it does expand a bit so watch for that.

I didn't go for it (std glue) because of that frothing, and it is not flexible, for the shoe/textile application, we most usually require ..
rather chose serious glue, to replace, failing, evo-stick impact.

I do not need to find a way of storing partially used tubes in a more air-tight manner though.
