Last night I was assembling a dozen window sashes for an East Broad Top coach that the Friends of the East Broad Top are doing heavy repairs (one to one modeling). I used Gorilla Glue to bond the sashes. Because I do not have enough bar clamps of the right size to do it in one batch, I had to do it in 3 batches. Between batches I cleaned the brush with acetone to get the adhesive out of the bristles. This morning I discovered the leftover acetone had turned into a cream colored solid about the texture of yogurt. What other things can happen to Gorilla Glue that is unexpected?
What kind of Gorgilla Glue? Sounds like it was the original.
I have only used it a little and found in one application where i tried bonding styrene to metal (scuffed up) it didn't make a solid bond and was brittle. That was unexpected from what i'd read about the glue.
Do you think the "yogurt" you created could be used as a filler/putty for some projects? Will it cure as the acetone evaporates further?
I have no idea. I chucked the entire mess out this morning when I found it. I suspect that there was some moisture in the mix, as I generally moisten one side of anything I bond with the Gorilla Glue making it swell a bit and bond quicker. I've had it stick to anything it touches including glass and metal. I've never gotten it to bond to silicon materials or to type 5 plastic containers from which I hold it while spreading onto wooden joints. Other then that i have found it to stick to almost everything.
