I have use Gorilla Glue for a variety of woodworking projects. I have not used it on anything other than wood. Gorilla Glue foams and EXPANDS as it cures. It takes some getting used to in that regard. It works well in pourus substances like wood because of its expanding action. It actually cures best with a little bit of moisture (dampen the surfaces to be glued prior to applying the glue). Clamping is definitely recommended since the foaming and expansion can cause your surfaces to slide or move apart. Volume control is imperative; too much glue and it seeps out of the joint as it cures. It cures extremely hard so is also extremely difficult to remove excess amounts. <br />It is good for joints that will be exposed to some moisture (damp basement). I would NOT use it for delicate work or to glue fine joints where appearance is important (the expansion effect seeping out of joints is not pretty). It does not take stain (found that out the hard way). I have not tried to paint it, I do not know how it will affect foam, though if it does not degrade the foam I suspect you may need to use alot of the glue to create a great joint joint since it will wick into the pourus surface of the foam. <br />Its good stuff if used appropriately, I don't think fine modelling is an appropriate use for it (at least without considerable experience with it).
