I just watched this prior to a trip to home depot for a garden project. I have watched a good number of your tests recently as I prepare to do some work around the property and appreciate the way you test the products properties head to head and the use of graphs to show the results. It cuts through all the hype and gives us real results in an easy tounderstand way. One thing that I haven't seen and would like to would be a comparison of some of the products, especially the adhesives, when used on dissimilar mateials such as brick or concrete and wood, both face and end cut. Thanks, again!

[@andrewnajarian5994]

I agree with Vicky, below (or above depending on how the comments are sorted) but also, it would be good to see another test of the best and adding in Sikaflex. I’ve used a number of these, especially 3M 5200 and 4200 as well as Sika and all are really great. Also, I think a comparison of fast and slow cure versions of the same products would be interesting. I know 3M and Sika both have two cure speeds available for several of their products...

In retrospect of GORILLA glue's reputation, price, & hype, I'm VERY disappointed with those results.

[@researchandbuild1751]

If you have to advertise so much, you probably are disappointing

[@grumpycat_1]

Their Urethane Glue (the stuff that looks like honey) and their Tape are both very good products, the rest of their products are overpriced "market segment" products.. AKA they are low/mid grade crap that uses the "Gorilla" name to drive sales on the store shelves.

[@DONK8008]

@@researchandbuild1751 You can apply that to a lot of stuff KZbin channels shill. RayCons and Raid Shadow legends are the current best example.

[@Si74l0rd]

The original Gorilla Glue is good at what it does, but it looks like they just bought up old formulations when they expanded their range. My take on it is always do your research and find the best tool for the job, or in this case the manufacturer that made their fortune in this specific marketplace (the F26 in particular seems to fit the bill here). Rather than being a brand junkie and exhibit slavish devotion to any one company. These days all businesses seek to diversify to protect themselves from market fluctuations and unplanned obsolescence of their key products. Which means that 90% of their product line is likely to have limited in house R&D, if any, and most likely they've just paid patent fees and copied someone else's design, or worse still, they've put their own branding on a third party product. An exception to this, especially within the adhesives sector is 3M, who have infinite money and R&D resources because companies and governments have been using their products for donkeys years, for everything from adhesives, tape and insulation to bespoke products used on vessels launched into space. They are the world leaders in all things sticky, but you pay a price premium for all that R&D and the companies monolithic infrastructure and overheads. Sometimes the smaller companies with greater specificity in a particular area are the best bet overall for cost vs performance. F26 is made by a company started in 1930, and while it may no longer be family owned, there's still a lot of experience in their sector making products that people in the industry actually use. As for Flex, at that price to performance ratio they need to go back to the drawing board and create a new formulation. Neither good wet or dry, on wood or plastic, and ridiculously priced to boot. They're taking the piss even more than Gorilla are! Certainly nothing to be proud of if you work for Flex. Do better yo! Or drop your prices to a more appropriate level for the performance at the very least.

I knew nothing about construction before these videos, but now i am bingewatching most of your videos. Next time my dad does any renovations, I'll be the one helping.

Thank you for the feedback!

3M makes good stuff, also Liquid Nails is pretty impressive.

[@ProjectFarm]

Hi Matt, Great point! I'm very impressed with 3M. Video testing Liquid Nails in a week. I love your videos and am looking forward to your next one. Thanks again for the see through rotary engine!! Testing 100LL aviation fuel in it soon. Thanks again!

[@WarpedPerception]

@@ProjectFarm awesome, can't wait. Man you keep on teasing me telling me you're looking forward to my next video, I'm so freaking behind right now. Top priority for me to get my schedule in order.

As always, you did a great job on “Real Time” testing. You are doing all the testing that I have thought about doing. So THANK YOU for taking the time that I can’t seam to find. You’re doing a great service to the trades! Keep it up PLEASE. 3M 5200 who hoo! I glued down IPE 5/4 decking on treated lumber frame with it some 25 years ago with zero mechanical fasters, and it’s still holding strong! Always new it was great stuff but thanks for the validation. Looking forward to part 2 because I’m a fan of PL Premium as well.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank You for the constructive feedback!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Glad hear!

[@HuheJass]

Love the video! Thank you for making sure quality content that is easy to find when looking for different brands and options for just about everything! I know it wouldn’t be the easiest video, but I was thinking it might be cool to do a video on the durability of different wood finishes, particularly in rough outdoor weather conditions. You could make it a two part with one on the short term-overall look and protection the finish provides against scratches. (For example some polyurethane and marine coatings make the wood look fake but will provide a much better scratch resistant surface as opposed to danish oil which looks great but needs to be reapplied and offers no scratch protection) And long term how well each finish held up to high uv exposure over a year.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.

Another excellent set of tests! I LOVE it when one product stands out far above the rest, and here, the 3M was amazing -- ESPECIALLY after a soaking. If you need serious waterproof construction adhesive this video makes it very clear that 3m 5200 is your adhesive. Thanks for providing such CLEAR information!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

I like how JB weld has become the control for the experiments. Thanks for putting this together. Informative and entertaining

Did they ever really have any? When you resort to infomercials, you know your product is garbage.

Am a shipbuilder in Vancouver Canada and we use 3M 5200 if you want it to STICK and you NEVER HAVE TO TAKE IT APART ! !

[@ProjectFarm]

Impressive! Great point on it becoming a permanent bond!

Randomly needed to buy conduction adhesive and remembered watching this video several months ago. Revisiting it before going to Home Depot. Thanks Project Farm!

I work in construction so I really appreciate this test. We use liquid nails mostly. I've had to go back and try to remove something stuck to the wall and it completely ripped the sheetrock out before coming loose.

[@TheGrifter1220]

3M excelled, and as JB Weld is a two part adhesive, I can negate that, although it was pretty impressive! I use the construction adhesive a lot in marine applications and I can see the value of the 3M product over the long haul. Great job!

Thank you

[@POLOLOUS3]

PL Premium x3 is my vote in my experience, but since your including the more recently new PL x8 my money is on that. Impressed with the 3m though. My most impressed experience with PL is with deco concrete wall blocks. 7 year old install removing the glued down cap stones from the block wall, the glue never failed, the Caps or block pulled away from each other taking the glue it was attached to like in the results with the wood you observed. But that's wood with grain and not compressed and fully cured stable concrete blocks. That was with the 3x, 8x never existed at the time.

[@ssclassof2000]

Great video, can't beat good ol JB weld. I'm also noticed that the Gorilla brand is not as good as the commercials claim, because it's products do not perform very well in tests. Thanks for what you do!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@davidcrawford6505]

I agree. Gorilla products have failed me too many times.

[@Bannimann2]

Gorilla products are very hyped and somewhat overpriced for what it's worth in my own experience, but then again, it depends of where you're located, USA, Europe, Asia etc., and what kind of taxes and VAT the importer has to pay, and how many percentages the importer and resellers require in profit. Here in my neck of the woods (Scandinavia) the taxes and the VAT is quite high, and therefore Gorilla products are quite expensive. :)

[@coltonjacobs5383]

I agree. I’ve used their super glue and it has failed quite often compared to the loctite I now use. Their gorilla glue just foams way to much to really do anything

[@benmiller5015]

Given gorilla glues test results I'm surprised they haven't sent some guys to project farms house in the middle of the night lol
