Don't you remember? He tried that, but the glue failed before they could
get underway, because Gilligan didn't mix it up right.

No. That was a typical plot in which Gilligan *seemed* to have found
the way off the island by creating (by accident, naturally) a
super-strong waterproof glue.

Unfortunately, the glue apparently had a short life after bonding.

If I'd been on that island, Gilligan would have been White Shark bait
around two weeks in.
Or maybe not... maybe the best thing to do was hook wires to his
testicles leading back to around fifty open coconuts with copper and
zinc strips in them...and start stirring them.
If that can power a radio, it sure as hell can burn his little worthless
balls off.

You would have ATTEMPTED that, and then discovered that you died an
amusing death. Gilligan is the classic invulnerable innocent.
