Review on 10 Pack Of Gorilla Super Glue Clear With Brush & Nozzle Applicator, 12 Gram Each by Jay Williamson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't blame the product, it was too old!

I gave this product five stars for all the successful liquid prior purchases an excellent performance for the number of years it has been my favorite Super Glue and track it down as needed since that first purchase. The Ebay customer service who give one star so they can complain are receiving old product Ebay must not be purchasing directly from the manufacturer. I received my Ebay Gorilla product January 9th of 2020 as my almost three year old product needed backup as it began to thicken. A few days ago I accessed the January arrival and attempted to shake it since it had been sitting since arrival. There was no movement, no sound of liquid inside. Already nothing was normal. I buy the product for the brush application method I prefer and that it's what I tried to open and could not even pull the brush from the bottle and immediately knew it was OLD PRODUCT, thicker and less usable than the one that was replacing.Before calling the manufacturer phone number on the package to confirm what I suspected, I checked the Ebay reviews for this product and saw all the single Stars and people beating up on a fine product that was outdated and expect Ebay was scammed by a dishonest distributor dumping outdated product. such an injustice today product I had always purchased fresh at my local hardware store as I would suggest they complaining reviewers should do or, call me 800 number on the back of the package if you still have it and have the bottle on which is a production date by which I was told the product received in January was already two years old as the code on the bottle bottom indicated with its 2018 date. The Pleasant and cooperative person who answered my call at the 800 number indicated Ebay purchases from many distributors and storage conditions unknown at the distributors are Ebay warehouses and maybe totally unconducive to keep things such a product in a liquid condition. As I said above mine was three years old and I was still using and what I received was two years old and I couldn't pry the brush from the bottle, super glue stuck to it so thick the brush could not exit. This no doubt is the same kind of outdated and unusable product received as was clear to me when they described and reviewed it here. To all of those I would say buy it fresh from a trusted hardware store and if necessary check the bottom of the bottle for the code. The first two numbers after three letters on my bottle weare18, representing 2018 and I believe the 06 that followed probably meant the month of June.My 5 star reviews represent every bottle of this product I have ever purchased until that received in January from Ebay. And maybe Ebay could find a way to identify distributors who buy up old product and then sell it cheap to Ebay whose reputation then stuffers along with the manufacturer. I used Ebay instead of trying to find a hardware store in a city to which I'm new and too easily get lost.Good Luck people, this is a great product and the brush usually removes clean as a whistle and not stuck to the inside of the bottle with thickened Super Glue. I am surprised so many reviewers did not recognize an old product. For heaven sakes, Elmer's Glue does the same thing and glue sticks dry out. Adhesives must stay in the form in which they were manufactured to function.

Pros
  • Sticks stuff together, and is mostly clean to use… probably not a good idea to use as hair gel though….
Cons
  • The brush applicator may shed bristles, causing imperfections in the glue job

Do not buy. I received the first one. It was defective. All dried up. Got a replacement. Same exact thing. I will be going to my local hardware store. Very disappointing.
