This is the right way to use gorilla glue

"For a little insurance, I'm going to wrap the handle in Gorilla Tape"
You can just feel the Copyright ooze out of this video just as the glue oozes out of the wood XD

Beautiful fix job! I bought Gorilla Glue when it first came out years ago and of course, didn't read the instructions. I thought glue is glue, right? How hard can it be? Well, I was gluing a TV stand together because the joints were weak, but I didn't use any water and it didn't set up and even after a week it was still kind of gooey and tacky. I actually took the time and read the instructions...I had to use water. So I sprayed water on it and yes, it expanded and was I shocked the next day with all the over-spill! I can vouch for the fact that it *_NEVER_* came apart. Good stuff! Now I need to buy some to hold a shower head in place. This time I know better. :)

Just a tip, but some inexpensive hose clamps would also have worked really nicely to clamp this awkward handle shape (often the clamps will want to slip off or roll).

My two buddies use it and now they are conjoined buds

No wonder you broke the spade. It was not designed to be used as an axe.

I've never had much luck with gorilla glue, but I've never known about the water trick...nice tip.

The tape on the other hand is the absolute BOMB! We use it at work to hold down the pneumatic tubes in the road on traffic counters. I have completely sworn off duct tape in favor of gorilla tape.

From my experience with gorilla glue. it is stronger then the wood itself

This glue has a very wide resonance in America. I recently bought it and tried it and it's very nice

Great shovel idea. Nice clearing tool.. glue good too

Can you Spazoids relax for one minute? First of all it's kind of a novelty item, secondly, I'm sure he put the edge on there for when he does actual delicate work and he seems like the kind of person who knows how far he can push a tool like that as a chopper. It's understandable that a young boy might go overboard and swing it at a tree. This video is merely showing the strength of Gorilla Glue anybody who would turn down an opportunity do a sponsored Gorilla Glue video is a fool.

Gorilla Glue makes a fantastic line of products... when used for proper applications.
Repairing a shovel handle with glue and tape is not a proper fix. More so, when that shovel is being used as an impact/cutting tool. There are many reasons cutting tools have a different style of handle (and connection between the handle and head) than a digging tool. That tool was never meant to be used in such a manner. Taking the connection rivets out and replacing the wooden shaft with a new one is the only way to properly repair the shovel -- that, and -- not using the tool improperly. Wranglerstar has many well done videos outlining the difference in handle styles/applications and how to replace them on his channel.

I really do find Gorilla Glue useful, and have enjoyed Jon Peters Art and Home video's in the past.

And because of the glue and the tape price, did it worth? Buying just the wood, would be cheaper?

[fyanezc]

Surprised, never thought that fix would hold up. I'll give it a try, need to break something first though!!
Interested to see your sharpening method, do you use a grinder on all garden tools?

Thanks for sharing.

Works perfect on metal to plastic. Wood to metal etc

[joebender]

So was it the glue or tape which held it together.I used to hold hockey sticks together with masking tape

[AwesomeWoodThings]

I like the glue and tape combo! Great video. Thanks!
