If you are gluing anything of any importance, AVOID polyurethane glues as they
are actually foam glues.  They cure my interaction with moisture and form trillions
of microscopic bubbles and the glue is very weak as you would imagine being mostly
gas bubbles.  That is why it turns white when curing and bubbles out of joints.
It is the bubbles forming.  Gorilla Glue is the worlds biggest scam.  They say
worlds toughest glue..... It is moisture cured polyurethane and ok for asthetic items
but NOT for structural.

Thanks, Ron.  It looks like I will abandon my search for this glue in favor of alternatives such as polyurethane, resorcinol, and epoxies.
