For an outdoor project I glued some 1" mahogany to the edge. For some reason the material was very, very difficult to push out of the tube. Gun trigger to start the bed. I could do the Couldn't find date code on tube. Material is like caulk in consistency. I'm not familiar with the Insta grip, at least for this edge taping. I found the initial stickiness a bit and was necessary to staple the pieces together while it cures.After a day of stapling the pieces of wood together they held in place and had a very good bond.At the time of writing this review it was very expensive at $15 per tube.Too expensive to even consider for bulk use. Although it did hold the wood tightly together in the end, it was so difficult to extrude that I won't be using this product again.
