Good Morning;

I do a lot of outdoor project and wanted to know what glue do you use. I've been using Titebond II with no problems but I want to be sure for the ones I'm making to sale at the Farmers Market.

Thanks

Harry

Morning Harry

I use Titebond III for any outdoor work. Titebond II is a great indoor glue but TB III is waterproof where as TB II is water restistant. Both cost about the same and TB III is lighter in color. I have never had a problem with TB III . Hope this helps.

Titebond II indoors and Titebond III for Exteriors

 

Iagree with the others, except for a couple things. Titebond III is great for indoor as well, the color of the TB III drys dark, it is perfect when working with darker woods, Walnut and others like it. Another thing I love about TB III is the longer open end time. If you have a pretty big clamping operation going on, and your already short 4 hands, then TB III is great for this purpose, it gives you more time to get it together and it won't lock up on you in 3 minutes like the TB II does.

When working with darker woods, the TB III and the TB II Dark can also act as a small gap filler if needed. It fills small voids really well if you get glue squeeze out, I purposefully desire a good amount of squeeze out, because I can finger it around a suspected area of possible voids and let it dry thick and sand it out.

TB III is my new hero in the shop these days.

I use both the tightbond II and III along with the Elmers equivilant without any real noticable differences among them.

I use both Titebond II and Titebond III. The cutting boards I make are all glued with Titebond III. It is a little runny but the extra open time helps to get all of the pieces in place before I have to clamp it up. For all of my indoor furniture I use Titebond II and if I am doing Walnut, I have the Titebond II in the dark color.

 

Titebond III is a little harder to remove the squeeze out. I give it about 30 minutes or until is starts to get a little stiff and then take a putty knife and go along the glue line and remove the squeeze out.

And add epoxy to my list.
