Sounds like a fun event.

Will have to pass on this one – Gorilla glue, if you can find it, has to be sold by the ounce here, it’s so precious.
At the last New Zealand Lumberjocks picnic, Moshe and I discussed about there being some sort of tariffs on imported glue here (seems 5%) + GST (12.5%) + currency exchange rate + profit margins. I have found a 2 oz bottle of gorilla poly glue for $5.45 . While I could afford it, it does not become a glue of choice at that price for any significant project. Epoxy can be had for less than that.
Sorry Gorilla.

actually, its not too bad. its the only US glue that has active local distributor (maybe even manufacturer). 16 Oz bottle sells for 18 NZD, if memory serves. its over twice the price of PVA, but not too bad. they also sell here something strange that is unique to NZ, called PVA aliphatic. has no finger print on the net. looks like titebond imitation. i bought a bottle and will check.

This was a fun challenge. I’d used Gorilla Glue a lot in the past (and have some invisible joints in the kitchen because of it – good boast of a very green amateur (at the time), but have been pretty much just using wood glues of late (titebond 2 and 3).
The newer formulation of GG works really well, and foam up significantly less (at least this is true of the white one I tried). Glad to have a reason to try them. (and I’m sure they’re glad to know they have some new customers too)
