Why is my Gorilla Glue not sticking?

Gorilla Glue doesn’t stick well to most plastics because cyanoacrylate creates a chemical bond between the glue and ions in water. Almost any surface has some moisture on it due to humidity, except for most plastics. Without moisture, the cyanoacrylates can’t create a bond.

How do you remove Gorilla Glue from a wood joint?
