Reminds me of a "toothpick bridge" competition I competed in back in middle(?) school. For no particular reason that I can remember, my group used Gorilla Glue instead of white glue or wood glue. This resulted in some good things and some bad things.

The good: the bridge survived what was supposed to be destructive testing with no damage whatsoever!

The bad: that's because the glue joints just stretched elastically and the whole thing deflected into a banana shape without actually holding any weight, LOL.

So an air pontoon bridge?

Do gorillas make the glue or is it made from gorillas?

That stuff is as expensive as it is tasty.
