[CAUT] gorilla glue

[Michelle Stranges]

Reading all of these posts....and now this about having to grow new  
skin to cover the stain it'll make???  * what is the point of this  
stuff?*
Should we even have it in the shop?
I vote no.

(I *do* have a very small bottle at home but I have not yet used it.  
Don't know if I will..)

JMHO...
