Why anybody would wasre time with that garbage is beyond me.
It is even useless on land based projects.
Totally overpriced and under peckered any way you look at it.
Gorrilla Glue and other polyurethane glues work really well IF AND ONLY
IF you use them properly in an appropriate application. To get good
results, you need to have a very close fitting seam and strong enough
clamping to prevent the glue from expanding in the seam (expansion
outside the seam is normal and not a problem). They should NEVER be used
to fill gaps! Edge gluing luan panels in a S&G boat is NOT a good
application for poly' glues.
You can't blame the glue for the failures of the builder.
