Gorillas in the Glue
I used Gorilla Glue to bond 2x12 beams I built my barn with. One operation called for me to drill and stuff carriage bolts through this beam, once set into place, by leaning over the 4ft high loft wall with one arm. It was a very hot and humid day so I wasn’t wearing a shirt. Did you mention in your post how much this stuff can expand on a hot and humid day????
Let’s recap, no shirt, humid, hanging an arm over a beam oozing with Gorilla Glue…. It took three weeks for me to get all the stuff out of my armpit and off my side. My B-I-L was helping that day and I think he’s still laughing about the day I glued my armpit shut. No permanent damage (except to my pride) but a lesson I will take with me forever.
This stuff can bond wonderfully, under the right conditions. I still tend to flinch when passing it on the store isle though.
Say Peters, is your picture #9 Insulated Concrete Forms? If you used them would you be willing to share your experience?

Gorillas in the Glue
Thanks for volunteering your experience!
We’ll be building a new house next year and this system meets many of my requirements, desires and wishes. The house will be around 3000 sq. ft. finished basement with same amount on top. Siding will be brick veneer with stone accents.
What I would like to know, from someone that’s done it, is, “Was it worth the trouble and would you do it again?” These systems are complicated and involved to properly setup before the pour (or pump, if you will) and require some care to get them just right. My research has uncovered a lot of claims, mostly from manufacturers, but I want real-world advice.
I was first considering just the basement but then thought, why NOT the whole house? So you would do it again?
Uhhhh, this system doesn’t involve any Gorilla Glue does it???

Peters, Thank you very much for all the info. I'm pumped now to use the ICF's on the whole project.
Much reading to do......
