    Gorilla Glue for gluing tubes.

    Has anyone used this Gorilla Glue stuff for gluing tubes in blanks ? Bought some today because Toolstation no longer stock my favorite Evo Stick epoxy resin. On reading the instructions it says that you have to moisten the item your gluing and that the glue swells to 3 to 4 times its volume...
