How well does gorilla glue work on concrete walls? I want to attach a curtain rod and I know drilling a hole up there will be a pain. I have a huge window and my tv directly under the curtain. Will the gorilla glue hold it up? I dont want to replace the tv if the rod falls.

The biggest problem with gluing anything to concrete is the surface needs to be absolutely clean and free from any loose material. About the only way to assure this is to chip away the surface so you have fresh concrete exposed.
Rent a hammer drill and use some mechanical wall anchors such as lead anchors or similar method of attachment. There are probably three or four choices for the type of anchor to use. Take a look at the local hardware store and choose the one that best for your application.

To be quite honest, there is no glue made to do the job you want it to. Tape either. If you are worried about your T.V. set, you'll have to move it someplace other than where it is ,or put the curtain rods up the correct way. And that would be ,unfortunately ,to drill and use a anchor. It really is not that difficult to do. If you want a fairly easy but safe way,use those masonry screws. You only need to drill a small hole with a masonry bit,then screw the screw right into the concrete without an anchor. Sorry about the glue. Byee

Definately use a hammer-drill and drill out a hole using a masonry bit. Concrete will most likely be too porous for Gorilla-Glue.

Use a product called Powergrab. Home Depot and Lowe's both carry it. If your rod has ends that will come off of the rod, take them off shoot a glob of powergrab on them, place them where you want them and use blue tape to hold them on the wall. Let it set overnight and it should be good to go, just don't hang like castle curtains on it. Drilling concrete really isn't that bad. You just need a cordless drill that hammers(hammer drill) you will be surprised how quickly it will cut through concrete.

Things glued with Gorilla Glue need to be clamped until dry. Not sure how you would do this on a wall. This glue expands when drying so you don't want to overdo it. I have been buying Elmers Ultimate glue. Works the same as Gorilla glue and is cheaper.

Gorilla glue requires Clamping......... I'd find a way to drill into the concrete with a masonry drill bit.... and use screws.

IT WORKS JUST FINE FOR SMALL REPAIRS. NO SPECIAL PREP IS REQUIRED FOR GLUING CRACKED OR BROKEN CONCRETE BRICKS. SIMPLY DAMPEN THE AREAS TO BE GLUED AND THE APPLY GLUE TO BROKEN PIECES AND LET IT DRY OVER NIGHT. FOR ADDED STRENGTH YOU CAN THEN FILL THE HOLLOW SPACES OR OPEN CRACKS WITH QUICKCRETE. GLUING SOMETHING LIKE A CURTAIN ROD IS ASKING FOR TROUPLE UNLESS YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO CLAMP ROD TO THE CONCRETE. HOWEVER, IT MAY NOT TAKE THE WEIGHT OF HEAVY CLOTH MATERIALS.
