Have you heard about the trending gorilla glue girl? If not, here’s the gist: she happened to mistake her Gorilla Glue for a Gorilla Hair Styling Gel she normally used. The issue now is that the gel has refused to come off. She’s tried virtually everything, from suggestions made by people online to even going to the ER to find a way to solve the glue issue. Now, what if we used gorilla glue for a broken power sector?
For those who do not know, Gorilla Glue is known for its potency. This glue is used for heavy-duty glueing. To hold hard objects like wood and even metal together.

In fact, according to them, the glue was specifically designed to hold things together PERMANENTLY.
