terminology police was Re: Re: PL Premium failure (don't use over epoxy?)
PL doesn't make Gorilla Glue, to my knowledge. PL is a brand name, isn't
it? Don't you mean PU for polyurethane? I'm only mentioning this because
many times I've seen people become confused about exactly which glue
we're talking about. I imagine sometime someone will be in the middle of
a large lake when their boat starts to fall apart and will have a long,
cold swim! Even within the PL line you could get the wrong variety of
stuff in a tube and have it not work as well. Or at least some people
have reported this. (I've used the Elmer's Probond liquid POLYURETHANE
glue on tight fitting stuff like laminated gunwhales with good results
so far. Note that there are other liquid ProBond products that are
nothing like the polyurethane type. I recall that one of them is like
carpenter's glue and would probably disappear if given a good long
soak.) Then there's the difference between Titebond and Titebond 2....
BTW, in my experience PL Premium Construction Adhesive(one of the kinds
that comes in a caulking gun tube but NOT PL400 or whatever it's called)
does fill gaps, at least to some extent. It even says so on the package.
But that's NOT the liquid stuff. So by my count there are at least 4
kinds of PL to keep track of. (I seem to remember discussions of PL
Premium Concrete Adhesive that also comes in a caulking gun tube)

might switch to resorcinol.
