I use it a lot, and it is the strongest glue I know of, except maybe hide
glue.

The materials to be joined must be wetted before the glue is applied, and
you can use it sparingly because it foams up as it sets, but don't walk away
from a liberally dosed joint, or you will come back to find hardened foam
everywhere. The hardened glue chips right off of metal tools, but sticks
like crazy to everything else.

Also, I left my girls gluing up some furniture, and when I came back they
had the stuff all over their hands, which then turned black. Nothing we
found will take that stuff off after it dries, it just has to wear off, they
were sore at me.

We have since found that denatured alcohol removes the uncured glue readily
(just like it says on the bottle!), so keep some on hand and frequently wipe
hands etc. while working, or wear disposable gloves.

My take: Super duper strong, seems to be weather proof, very messy, bring
alcohol and rags.
