Would "Gorilla Glue" be a brand name of polyurethane glue?

Yes Gorilla Glue is one type. I haven't heard specific experience with this. Success has been found with Willhold polyurethane, as well as a glue called "Power Bond".

Yes, Gorilla glue. The stuff dyes your hands brown. Nothing but time takes it off, so as Kitesquid would say, be careful with it!

A new type of CA Glue has arrived. One of the problems with CA and kiting is that the glue's "shock-resistance" is not as great as epoxy. This new CA solves this problem with added rubber in the recipe:
"IC-2000™ is a rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate that forms superior shock resistant bonds on non-porous surfaces. The black colored CA has added flexibility for the bonding of metals, fiberglass, rubber, Carbon-fiber and other advanced materials."
Good stuff.
You can find it HERE
