[TheForge] Brass/Bronze brazing question

[debmiller at fuse.net]

I have used JB Weld for all kinds of durable repairs on vehicles.
Any one have any experience with that new Gorilla Glue?

It's made right here in Cincinnati by the old Lutz tool and file company. The glue sales have taken off so fast that they have renamed the company to The Gorilla Glue Company.

I loved Lutz files!!
