I build a bench from a 3″ thick redwood slab. Two slab legs with a stretcher centered on the tops of the legs and the legs are mortised into the seat. There’s a slight gap between the top of one leg and the bench. It’s creaking and wobbling a bit. Problem is I already glued the piece up w/ Gorilla glue. Can I melt the glue to repair?

Gorilla glue!
I don't know. What does the bottle say?

Touch base with the manufacturer's technical support. Sounds like one joint is loose - the other may be next to impossible to work apart. Then again, if one joint failed maybe the other is weak?
