Took more than the 5 minutes to glue a wood corner strip to a stair, but the results is that the wood corner strip is on solid - for me, the benefit is epoxy gluing the piece without nails for this specific application. I was a little worried after the first five minute, but waited the day and now it is set.
I wasn't sure how the whole project was going to go -- steel hairpin legs onto an old library card catalog. There wasn't enough wood to drill holes.
So, I used some Gorilla Glue Epoxy and some shorter-than-I-would-have-otherwise-used wood screws to act as clamps. The cabinet is heavy and the hairpin legs aren't self-supporting.
Worked perfectly. There was a little time to wiggle things into perfect position, and honestly I mixed the epoxy on the steel surface rather than in the plastic tray. It was fine.

Great epoxy!
The Gorilla Glue epoxy does not foam, providing an easy to work experience. It worked great on a pair of broken sunglasses. Now anyone who has tried to glue these modern plastics knows that most glues just do not work. Gorilla Glue Epoxy worked fine, though! You can see the break in the photos below. The only inconvenience was holding the rounded frame for the 5-minute set time.
I am looking forward to using it to "fill" splits and cracks in some mesquite wood for a frame project.

Love the separated tube container.
This is the best epoxy I've tried. The syringe type dispenser works great and makes mixing the two ingredients simple. What I like most is the fact that you can close it up and use it at a later time. Just be sure to follow the directions on closing it and the ingredients stay separated. All the others I have tried are good for one application and throw it away. I've used it on two different applications of materials that were difficult to get a secure bond and this epoxy was the answer.

Easy to use
I purchased the Gorilla Epoxy because of the Gorilla brand name. Every product I have purchase from them always seems to work very well. I bought the epoxy to repair my granddaughters toy and it was perfect for the job. She is happy and so am I! The repaired that was made involved bonding two pieces of plastic that would not make contact. The epoxy handled the problem and provided the bond between the two pieces.

Convenient Epoxy Glue Applicator
These new epoxy glue applicators sure beat the old way of mixing two tubes together. This applicator comes with a cap so you can use just what is needed recap it and good for the next time. I tried Gorilla Epoxy on a marble doorway saddle. I didn't expect it to hold the heavy marble, but wanted something to keep the moisture out and be a strong bond. I mixed the two parts which were squeezed out of the applicator in equal parts by the plunger into a plastic cup and mixed them together with a wooden stick. The glue sets up fast and thickens so don't over mix or you can't spread it. I leveled the inset mortar then covered both parts of the broken marble with epoxy and set the stone into the mortar. I had to let the mortar set for a couple of days, but couldn't be happier with the epoxy seal. I sanded the crack lightly to smooth out epoxy high spots and its looks good, a nice clean repair. I always go for epoxy when there is a difficult gluing job to be done. Gorilla epoxy is an excellent choice.

Good epoxy
This was a very easy to use epoxy, although I wish it were a little stronger. My son got ahold of my glasses and wrenched the right hinge apart, so it wasn't a standard application for epoxy; but it did get the job done. The epoxy does dry clear and fairly quickly. After letting the epoxy dry for a day, I've been wearing them since

Once and done
The cap you pull off, broke the nozzles and product syringe wouldn't reseal. Only good for one application.

Worked great! Used on wooden drawer slider area of a dresser drawer. Was fast, used clamps and seems strong.

Instructions were in small size letters. So mixing two cylinders of liquid released were not mixed well. So it didn’t glue the tile skin to the floor. Wasted money and effort

Excellent product which sets rapidly and bonds very strongly. I used it on plastic items and it sets stronger than original material.

Works as well as other epoxy glue. There is a tab that you must remove before you can depress the plunger.
