Re: [ATM] Gluing aluminium to Wood

[William Lee <wjl12@comcast.net>]

My experience with Gorilla glue (during woodworking) is that it is  
semi-flexible, similar to white glue, when hardened.

Gorilla glue is a polyurethane adhesive that foams and sets in the  
presence of water (typically in the humidity in the air, but one can  
wet the surfaces that are glued to ensure setting).  When set, it is  
water proof.  (It is water soluble prior to setting, so make sure to  
wipe the excess off prior to setting--and you probably have to do it  
more than once as it foams.)
