To get this with Binding, what approach would be proper?
1) assume 10 seconds based duration (page 101 under "Range, Area, and Duration for Advantages") and take Extended Duration 1000x +120% to get it past 2 hours
2) assume unlimited duration and take Maximum Duration (page 15 of GURPs Power Ups) either "Up to 1 hour -10%" or "Up to 12 hours -5%" ?

GURPS Powers seems to assume option 1... kind of. If you look at the build for Quicksand on p.139, you see that 10 seconds is the duration to trap _new_ victims. Current victims presumably remain bound.
So... Spideys webs generally are not sticky anyway, post him spraying them, so in this specific case, I'd go with your option 2 build: Victim stays trapped indefinitely unless you apply a limitation. The counter argument would be Ice Bonds on p. 138 which have no duration limitation but should logically melt at some point... though 10 seconds is a bit fast even there. I prefer to think of Ice Bonds as missing a limitation, given how Quicksand works.
