Gorilla Glue for woodwork?

I've recently tried Gorilla Glue on some repairs and it's pretty impressive. Do you know how effective it is on woodworking projects? I will make some boxes soon out of plywood, and thought this stuff would be good for the joints, with parts clamped together by woodscrews. The boxes will get some hard use by kids standing on em and throwing things in/out. Thanks.

John,
The gorilla glue is amazing stuff and it's great on wood.

Two words of caution: Don't get it on your skin; and It foams up as it comes out of a crack, so scrape it off before it fully hardens.

Don't ask me how I know.

Currently, my hands and fingers have a some... brown spots. Actually a lot. I used gorilla on my dash and it's not going anywhere. But yes, if you are using a rag to wipe up access, do NOT leave the rag lying around because you might end up picking that rag up and using it to vigorously wipe of the glue you just accidently touched, only to realize that you hand is now covered in the #$#%#%& because of the RAG!! :mad:

Man! That glue works! just make sure to moisten the two parts prior to clamping it up, this glue requires moisture to set up properly, and yes, you need gloves or your hands will look like Crap!!!!made many projects with that stuff.

That is some nasty, messy stuff. I would never use it for anything that would look pretty. I only use titebond on good hardwoods, but plywood boxes are a whole different story. Some gorilla glue and screws would probably be a great way to go on that.
