wood hardener

    I am thinking of thinning gorilla glue with acetone and trying to firm up rotten wood.

    Any one have an opinion or a better alternative (I can't get to the shops unless I am prepared to wait -even if there was any product available)

    In the past I have thinned epoxy resin with acetone with some success but gorilla glue somehow inspires more confidence and acetone can be used to clean it off before it cures and so it must surely thin it.

    But will it weaken the set?

    this seems to be a good (old) discussion around the area: http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-3666.html

    Gorilla Glue is moisture curing polyurethane so while acetone might remove it it, it may not thin it and still allow it to work.

    If you are just firming it up then try owatol textrol. I use in on sheds and it penetrates any soft areas of the pressure treated cladding and hardens it.

    Cheers I will look into that. Sounds like my kind of a thing :)

    Sorry a bit slow to answer.

    I have been warming the gorilla glue quite hot so that it runs freely and even drilling small holes to pour or squirt it into. Apart from being moderately expensive I am pleased with it.
