More Gorilla Glue... you betcha!
A guy came into the showroom today with a part that dropped out of this drawer slide.I recognized it as a 'euroscrew' which is essential in European style cabinet construction.
He lost one of two so I went into the warehouse where we keep a drawer of miscellaneous hinge and cabinet parts and found 2 just like the one he came in with.
He wanted to drill a hole in a new location but had no tools to do so. We talked about how it screws into a metric hole (5 millimeter if I recall) in wood and since his fell out, my suggestion was to use a small amount of 5-minute epoxy, press fit it and wait for the glue to harden.
He asked if he should use Gorilla Glue and without hesitation I said "Yes, that will work, but don't get any on your hair!"
We both laughed and wanted to pay me for the part. It was no charge, but I told him should he need a kitchen renovation he should come back and we will talk business.

Neither are we alien.
I recommend people start getting over themselves with this ownership and not belonging malarkey.
The order of Kin and Foreign, is an integral part of the great Mandela that we call genetics/life. Each plays it's part, but one thing is sure, foreign is as necessary as kin, over the long haul. Most of the foreign gets trashed, in a giant ecology of survival. A few rarely not so. But who would deny the importance of those who are a little---or a lot---different, and thus in one sense, can truly be labeled as foreign?
Celebrate/Extirpate diversity? Impossible, and the craft of fools.The right and the left can each lay valid claim to being fer or agin the idea.
C'mon. Leave the Cumbayah nonsense in the virtue signaling echo chambers. Where it soothes the troubled soul best. But does little more.
Guess we should agree to disagree.
Nothing beats real wood IMO, as long as new trees are planted as the old are cut down it is sustainable and renewable for ever.
This is very similar to my Kitchen, from the same suppier.
