heating of glue 

i believe i read in another post that once gorilla glue is dried or cured it is non-toxic. is it still non-toxic if it is heated up w/ a flame?

Re: heating of glue 

Hello,

Great question!  Once cured, Gorilla Glue is 100% waterproof and non-toxic.  However, we do not recommend Gorilla Glue be used on materials exposed to direct flames or open fire. In this case you would need to use a flame retardant material. 

Also, if you heat a glue line, the strength will decrease when it’s at a higher temperature.  If cured Gorilla Glue is exposed to temperatures 212 F and higher for a long time (e.g. more than 4 hours), the glue line may lose significant strength even when it returns to room temperature.

I hope this information is helpful.          Mary-Ellen
