Nickfromwales Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just any tbh. They're all the same stuff with different names. Some are waterproof, so that's prob a box to tick when choosing. This kind of thing. You'll get good mileage from 5 litres ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yup. Water soluble unlike the PU's. You can wipe that off with a wet rag, unlike the D4 which you need a gun cleaner / solvent to remove. They don't have gap filling qualities but if your screwing thin ply onto flat decking, at 100mm centres, then you won't have any gaps to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 As said I've gone from D4 to Gorilla glue, just for a change really as I know a couple of people who rave about Gorilla. I see some boat builders don't like the idea of the "foaming" action of Gorilla apparently and that they've had failures, maybe Jeremy can comment. This from the D4 site: "D4 Wood Adhesive is a solvent free industrial grade D4 wood adhesive based on the latest hybrid resin technology. The result of several years work, D4 Wood Adhesive provides the user with a waterproof D4 grade wood adhesive with none of the safety issues associated with conventional isocyanate containing (polyurethane) D4 grades." I wonder then is Gorilla a "conventional isocyanate containing (polyurethane) D4 grade". Using Gorilla at the mo and tbh I'm "unsure" whether I like it / prefer it to D4. Tbh EVERY product to date I've had from EVERBUILD (who make D4) has been pretty good, from preservers to additives and roof repair compounds.

Because D4 does not mean PU! that cheap toolstation stuff is D4 standard waterproof PVA based stuff and I've been using it on all sorts from kids craft stuff to flat pack furniture. Much better than basic PVA as it's quicker drying for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The PU glue I get from my local merchant ( and have done for donkeys years ) just happens to be branded D4 It doesn't wipe off with a cloth I can tell you without a shadow of s doubt. Quicker drying isn't always better, as it takes a long time to screw an 8x4 plywood sheet down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just read the Gorilla glue label and that says it's D3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The d4 glue I put down my floor with couldn't be wiped clean with a cloth. After 30secs its a hammer and chisel job to get any drops of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 So basically what we're saying is don't look to us lot for advice on glue All I know is what I've stuck down is still down.

I was drinking Hophead from the Darkstar Brewing Co. earlier at the local fete and very nice it was too (£3/pint). Just debating a Hobgoblin (5.2%) or maybe a King Goblin (6.6%).....haven't touched a drop of glue all day tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is simply no finer ale and at 4.8% it achieves a lovely warm glow after 3 pints. By 4 I'm nicely relaxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
