Default Need help regarding Gorilla Glue!

I read some of the posts regarding the use of Gorilla Glue. I used it today to glue a silver bail to the back of a dichroic pendant (black base). I am afraid I may end up with some residue after it dries.

How do I get the excess off?

Help! and thanks in advance!

I'd try a sharp razor blade first.
It's really effective to use 2 part epoxy for that kind of application too. It's extremely strong and more controllable since it won't foam up or expand while curing.
Just thought I'd throw that in. Good luck!

I agree with Jude - Gorilla glue expands and foams up way too much for fine, controlled application. I do woodworking and don't even use that for furniture.

Try sharp razor blade, then 1600 grit or finer wet/dry sand paper (you can get very high girt sand paper at auto supply store).

I'd suggest Barge Cement or epoxy for that application over Gorilla Glue. GG is fine for woodworking, but that's about all I use it for.
