sean 371 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Gorila glue is good [glow=red,2,300]but a mess[/glow] This is true, I gave it a shot, and I had to pretty much sand off the excess glue that squeezed out. It's damn strong though, I like it a lot.

jsmoke222000 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i have never used gorilla glue on a box but it works great on mounting MDF to the roof of a car as long as you scuff the roof up. I have used it to mount many overhead monitors with no problems. I have found that it will dry in about 4 hours, much quicker than liquid nails! Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

Amalan Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i would use liquid nails to build a box then use gorilla glue as a sealant since it expands. and is that meade in that pic?!?!?! that doesnt look like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low n Loud Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 CA glue is the shit IMO. i put 3 20" strips between the mdf wood for my baffle, and i swear i did not even need screws to hold it together. but i put plenty of screws in anyways. stuff is amazing....

LSN2meBoom916 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I personally use Elmers/titebond or other wood glue on mdf however when joining PLEXI to mdf I prefer Elmers ULTIMATE Glue or Gorilla Glue and screws. The GG and Ultimate glue both EXPAND and fill gaps and are both quite messy if allowed to RUN, but if you have "so-so" tools or experience with them, those types of glue will make up for inconsistent cuts in mdf or other materials by filling gaps and sealing as they dry. Liquid nails is alright for sealing and joining parts w/ LOW pressure on them i.e. in attaching the front baffle to a speaker pod but I would not trust Liquid nails (glorified, quick drying silicone) to hold any sub box together or any heavy items in place.
