Default How to use polyerethane ( gorilla) glue

Plse advise how to use gorilla glue to repair a cracked foam wing ? I think the gorilla glue is better than epoxy for this application because it will expand and fill the gaps . Can I bend the wing slightly so that the crack in the foam is open a bit ( 1/16 inch) then inject the gorilla glue into the cracked foam wing with a syringe along the crack line ? Should I wet the gap before applying the glue? I have never used gorilla glue before so not sure whether wetting both mating surfaces and then applying the glue between would work . I know the usual method is to apply the glue to one surface then wetting the other . In this particular case it is not possible to do so. Is wetting the surfaces necessary ? Would heating the gorilla glue slightly iomprove the flow characteristics so its easier to inject the glue from the syringe?Thanks
