Is it ok to use toxic adhesives like liquid nails or gorilla glue to seal worm bin?

I'm making my own worm bin, and I bought some non-toxic glue to use to get the side to seal to the base/floor. The glue is not getting the job done, and I don't want leachate leaking from the sides.

Does anyone think it'd be a problem to use a glue that isn't non toxic, like liquid nails or gorilla glue or something? I'm also open to good suggestions on what to use....

I want to finish it today, so hopefully I get some love on this. :eyesmoke:

As long as it dries completely it should be ok. I would use the liquid nail, but be sure it is absolutely dry before adding anything to the bin.

Should be fine. We use gorilla glue and standard super glue in aquariums - as long as it's dry it's pretty safe.

Ok thanks. I used up the rest of the non-toxic glue, I'll see how it held up in a few hours. I should have asked yesterday lol. If it doesn't look like it's going to hold up I'll try the liquid nails with the caulk gun.
