Has anyone used biscuit joinery and "Gorilla" polyurethane glue? Is it as strong as everyone says it is?

Thanks in advance.

It is strong glue, but has the same problem that urethane/epoxy glues have 
for cabinet making.  If you get excess glue on the face of the cabinet, it 
gets into the wood fibers and tends to prohibit stain application in the 
area where the glue is.  If your painting, or clear finishing without stain 
it should be fine.

And I've never had a problem with Elmer's Wood Glue, particularly 
with the right kind of joinery.  Biscuits and Elmer's make a strong 
joint horizontally, but I'll confess to never using biscuits at 
right angles.

The Synth of Doom cabs use biscuits and wood glue, at both right 
angles and oblique angles. There are interior corner braces as well. 
The case is extremely strong.
