Gorilla Super Glue XL

This is my go-to brand of super-glue. I tend to go through quite alot mainly for model making or just minor repairs and fixes around the house. It does adhere quite rapidly when fresh, but there's a noticeable increase in curing time as you work your way through it. Bond is more than strong enough for simple stick-jobs and can probably take some light wear. However don't expect it to last if you abuse it too muce. I also recommend storing it upside down as these bottles do have a tendency to dry out if there's room for air

Gorilla Glue has long been my go-to for strong, reliable adhesives, and the Super Glue XL (25g size) continues to live up to their reputation for quality and strength. Whether it’s quick household repairs, crafting, or emergency fixes, this glue performs exactly as you’d want it to — fast, durable, and incredibly versatile. First impressions are good — the 25g bottle is a great size, much better value than the tiny tubes most super glues come in. It has a precision tip for easy application, and the bottle is designed to resist clogging — which, in my experience, it genuinely does. I’ve used it multiple times over several weeks and the nozzle has stayed clear and easy to use, which is rare for superglue. The bonding strength is excellent. I’ve used it to fix everything from broken ceramic mugs to detached shoe soles and cracked plastic casing. It grips almost instantly, usually within 10–45 seconds depending on the material, and sets properly strong within minutes. Once cured, the bond feels permanent and has held up under normal wear and tear without issues. One of the standout features is how versatile it is — it works equally well on metal, ceramic, rubber, leather, paper, and most plastics. I even used it to patch up a cracked bike light casing and it’s held solid despite being jostled around daily. It dries clear too, which is essential for visible repairs. It doesn’t leave messy white residue if you’re careful with the application, and the flow is controlled enough that you don’t end up applying too much. The only caution I'd mention is to be careful when using it on your hands — it bonds skin very quickly (as all cyanoacrylate superglues do), so disposable gloves or a bit of care are recommended. But that’s standard advice for any strong glue. Another bonus is that the bottle stands upright securely, so it doesn’t easily tip and spill — a very small but thoughtful design touch. Overall, Gorilla Super Glue XL is a staple in my DIY kit. It’s strong, reliable, and better value than buying multiple small tubes. A top-quality adhesive for serious repairs. Highly recommended for any household.

Very strong works well good value

Great value and never a let down.

I can’t fault this super glue! It’s a bit thicker than the cheap super glue, so it doesn’t run everywhere and stain everything. It glues like a rock! Super Solid! I highly recommend this.

Does a good job easy to use sticks well

This is the only super glue I buy now. Super glue is always handy to have, and over the years I’ve tried many cheap and cheerful brands that just don’t last and don’t really work. With other super glues, I find that once opened they dry up, and a few months later when you go to use them, the product has hardened or the cap is stuck on tight. I don’t have any of these problems with this glue. As a glue, it is brilliant, sticking everything from broken ornaments and trainers to picture frames. If I have something that needs repairing, this always does the job. What makes it even better is that it lasts. I can go back to it three months later, easily remove the lid, and the product hasn’t dried up. It isn’t the cheapest super glue, but it’s far cheaper to buy one product that works and lasts than to keep replacing dried-up tubes of cheaper brands. I highly recommend this Gorilla Super Glue XL.

A very good product
