What brand of pigeon glue do y'all use?

Only the strongest fast bonding epoxy will do when I need them to carry coconuts across the sea

I thought they could grip it by the husk.

It's not a matter of where he grips it!

To fasten a ducks i just use the tape; I dunno if it's rated for pigeons though.

I do know how to glue gorillas, if you need advice on that?

How do you apply your gorilla glue?

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Very carefully.

Prep is everything, clean the gorilla thoroughly first - do not skip this step.

Apply a thin layer to both surfaces.

The trickiest part is holding the gorilla still for a full 3 minutes for the initial bond to form.

But once that's done you're golden., it should hold until full strength is achieved after 24 hours (in normal jungle conditions).

So could a gorilla take on 100 men carrying that glue?
