WOW ! lighten up man. It's just a matter of opinion. Gorrila glue is a brand name, and is commonly known as polyurethane glue, and has been in use for some time now by woodworkers and boat builders whenever you want a waterproof glue joint. If you store it right it's not an issue. Follow the directions on the lable, squeeze out the air then cap it. Since I use so little I buy the small bottle and I love it for putting in Robart hinge points. Oil up the hinges, dampen the holes, and then apply a drop or 2 using a tooth pick into the holes. Any foaming out can be removed after it dries by picking it off with a #11 blade. It will
not pull out period and you don't have to hurry before your epoxy sets up. Another great use is fixing foamy planes any missing pieces can be filled in with G glue. The secret is to use it very sparingly. I love their Med CA, very flexible.

Gorilla glue has a lot of uses or I wouldn't bother stocking it in my shop, I'm way too cheap for that. I just glued in a hard point, a piece of dowel in a balsa rudder with the GG. It expands and will fill in any slop between the parts.
There are no uses for Gorilla Glue that you listed, that couldn't be done better, faster, as strong if not stronger, and with less hastle....using alphetic, cyanoacrylate, or epoxy glue.
I can't even think of a use in modeling where Polyurethane type of glue is specific to.

Relax, some products are just beyond the use of some people?? In this case I think perhaps the Gorilla glue may have out thought the user? Things like that have been know to happen.
