How to Use Gorilla Glue for Beekeeping:
To ensure a strong and lasting bond in your beekeeping projects, follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Surfaces: Clean and dry the rebated sections of the side panels of your brood and super boxes.
- Apply Sparingly: Apply Gorilla Glue sparingly onto the rebated sections of the side panels. A little goes a long way due to the glue’s expanding properties.
- Glue the Side Bars: Apply the glue onto the ends of the super and brood side bars, ensuring an even coat for a secure fit.
- Join and Clamp: Assemble the parts together immediately after applying the glue. Clamp the pieces to hold them in place while the glue expands and cures.
- Curing Time: Allow the glue to cure for the recommended time (typically 24 hours) to ensure maximum strength.
- Remove Excess Dried Glue: Once the glue has dried, remove any excess using sandpaper or a blade for a clean, professional finish.
With these steps, you can confidently use Original Gorilla Glue to build and repair your hives, keeping your bees safe and your equipment reliable.
