The main difference between E6000 vs. Gorilla Glue is that E6000 is a solvent-based glue with 900% elongation while Gorilla Glue is water-based with an elongation of 600%. E6000 can be used indoors while Gorilla Glue is most effective when used outdoors. Another difference is the time they take to dry.
A test showed that E6000 can sustain the tension of up to 3500 lb/in while Gorilla Glue can sustain a pull of 3626 lb/in. So you can say that Gorilla Glue forms a stronger bond. I myself did tests on E6000 as well, you can read this article for more details: E6000 vs. B7000 | In-depth Analysis

🧪My Hands-on Test of E6000
The fierce smell of the glue does require using it in a well-ventilated area, and it’s not for quick applications. However, it is some of the best stuff out there for small projects that need to stay stuck. I love that these come in small tubes because you only need a tiny bit, and the large tubes tend to dry out before you can use them all. These small tubes are perfect for my smaller projects and prevent any waste, as the glue doesn’t dry up.
I have used this glue on wood, rubber, and metal, and it sticks well. The secret is to let it sit for 24 hours before any use. I highly recommend this glue for various crafting projects, such as craft tumblers, and prefer the one that dries clear. Overall, E6000 glue has proven to be much better than any other adhesive I’ve tried and I will definitely continue using it for my future projects.

🧪My Hands-on Test of Gorilla Glue (Gorilla Super Glue Gel XL)
The glue is a gel, which makes it easy to control how much product you use, and it is not too sticky when applied. However, it does require caution when using it since it is very sticky instantly and can cause issues if you do not prepare the job before using it.
One example of my use so far was when the decorative silver strip on my suitcase’s pull-out handle was popping out. Before it broke off and caused either an injury to the hand or weakened the handle, I decided to apply the Gorilla Super Glue Gel XL to reattach it permanently. And by permanently, I mean it! This glue should hold that silver strip in place long after the rest of the suitcase is destroyed! This stuff feels tough!
However, there are some precautions to keep in mind when using this glue. For instance, I had to be careful while cleaning the nozzle after each use since moistening the nozzle with a towel can solidify the fresh gel almost instantly onto the nozzle. It is easier to let the gel dry a bit and break off the dried gel. Also, the glue dries fast, so I had to hold the piece in place for the first minute or so to ensure that it sets on an uneven spot with divides.
Nevertheless, this glue has undoubtedly saved me a lot of money and frustration. For example, I had an old wooden cabinet falling apart due to age, and I was able to piece it back together with ease using the glue. Like the direction says, I made sure to clamp the wood pieces tightly together for 8 hours, and it worked wonders.
The product is also versatile since it can be used on different types of materials, such as plastic, wood, and fabric, which is a plus. It is also long-lasting and does not dry out quickly, which is something that I have experienced in the past with other similar products.
💬 FAQ of Gorilla Glue
Q: Is it safe to use Gorilla Super Glue Gel on glass surfaces?
A: We don’t advise using Gorilla Super Glue Gel on the glass as the bond may weaken over time due to the alkalinity in the glass.
Q: Can I use this to bond stainless steel to stainless steel?
A: Yes, it should work.
Q: Is it possible to use this to bond steel to wood?
A: I wouldn’t recommend using this glue for that purpose. I suggest using an epoxy resin for a strong bond instead.
Q: Does Gorilla Super Glue Gel work well on metal?
A: Yes, it works on metal surfaces.
Q: Where can I find the Gorilla Glue?
A: I was searching for the Gorilla Glue I usually use and stumbled upon it.
Q: Can I use Gorilla Super Glue Gel to bond a silicone gasket to steel containers?
A: Hello, Gorilla Super Glue Gel works on steel surfaces, but gluing silicone is considered “trial and error.”
Q: Why do I need to mist water when using Gorilla Glue?
A: Gorilla Super Glue doesn’t require water. Only Original Gorilla Glue needs water since it is a moisture-curing polyurethane.
Q: Is it possible to use this to glue a ceramic tile to a wooden picture frame?
A: Yes, you can use it if the tile is already self-adhesive and you want to reinforce it. Once applied, make sure the glue is completely dried for a period of time.
Q: Is Gorilla Super Glue Gel safe for use on Styrofoam?
A: I have found it to adhere to everything, but I cannot advise on the fumes when working with Styrofoam.
Q: Can I use it to fix a handle on a microwave?
A: Yes, I used it to fix a plastic knob on my dryer, so it might work for your microwave handle.
Q: Will it hold decorative plates on the wall?
A: It is strong enough to hold decorative plates on the wall, but when you reposition or remove the plates, the glue may rip a big hole in the wall. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend it for this application.
Q: Can Gorilla Super Glue Gel be used to bond aquarium ornaments?
A: Gorilla Super Glue Gel isn’t waterproof, and we cannot confirm it’s non-toxic once cured. We also don’t advise using Gorilla Glue products in applications that could lead to direct food contact or consumption or in situations where glue may be ingested.
Q: Can I use this glue to attach something to the wall?
