This sounds too good to be true. Order sent for 3 bottles. If it performs as advertised, I may be able to work with PE around kids again...

Cheers,
Mike

I'm glad you like it Bruce. If I may ask, who did you do the review for? I ask because I like to put links to it from my website.

Actually, Gator Glue has been around for years, as a stronger alternative to Elmer's White Glue for woodworking and other applications....it is a relatively recent discovery for modellers, however. My dad used to use it a lot for household stuff.

Sorry Rory,

Gator Glue is my own special mix. New to the market this year. It has never been bottled before.

Howdy Kenny,

If no one minds, I am MOST happy to chime in here
I am one of the many happy recipients of Gator Glue and can report that it not only lives up to it's growing reputation as an adhesive, but has also proved itself as a fantastic addition and ingredient in a forth coming product line I have been working on and assembling at this time.
Our good Kenny Loup has always been a forward thinker, and is firmly entrenched in efforts that push the envelope. For this he gets a big 'thumbs-up' smiley from me, and I would plug that smiley in if I could, but, unfortunately we still have the same Kinderschool group of smileys here on site that we've always had.........sorry Jim

Tread.

After reading the reviews I ordered a bottle on Friday. It'll be nice not having to pull tiny pieces of flesh off after supergluing parts to myself.

I do have a question about shelf life though. I've noticed with CA that it will go bad in a few months after opening the bottle. The same is true with Gorilla Glue, which I believe is what Rory was thinking about. How about Gator Glue? Once the bottle has been opened is there a time limit on how long it will remain useable?

Excellent question Cary.
To create Gator Glue, I went to the paint industry for my components, since that's what I know. If you make sure you put the lid on when your finished, I dare say it will last at least a couple of years in the bottle. And, since it is water based, if you see it start to thicken up, just add a little water and thin it back out.

Well, this sounds so good I also has to try it. Ordered two bottles just to be sure I am getting more and more tempted to try building a warship and I do not want to make radars and railings with the glue I use today.

Under all circumstances it will come in handy for tool claps on tanks and sights on aircraft.
