Standard issue [Posted on 2003-12-09] This is a great glue that most every shop has. I would recommend the "extend" variety of this glue since it sets up fast, though. Cleans up much better than the new polyurethan glues that are becoming popular.
The standard [Posted on 2004-02-03] This glue is the standard for most woodworking hobbyists. I buy this size bottle rather than bulk so that it gets used up in a reasonable period of time. There is generally a one shelf life for this type of glue to be most effective.
This is the gold standard... [Posted on 2004-11-05] I have been buying this glue in this exact quantity for years now and I am here to say that it is an absolutely great performer. Though I have used polyurethane glues and epoxy (I have yet to try the new Titebond III), this Titebond II is the glue I turn to 99% of the time. It has never let me down in any application - I build mainly indoor furniture and jigs.
Once cured, the strength of this glue is consistently stronger than the wood around it. I have had good luck with letting it dry and scraping the squeeze-out away with a sharp chisel and/or a flexible putty knife. After sanding I have had no problems with splotchiness in finishes.
I made the mistake of buying too much of this glue at once a few years ago and learned the lesson that it will go bad over time. Now I always buy this glue in these bottles and never have problems.
Highly recommended!
TiteBond II is a Five Star Glue [Posted on 2006-02-15] This is a fast setting glue that will allow you to unclamp and get back to non-stress finish work on the work piece quickly! It does require temps of the work piece and air to be at least 60 degrees F. to prevent chalking of the glue and undesirable results. TiteBond III will work down to 45 degrees F, so if you have a cold work shop and/or large glue jobs, TiteBond III would be better suited. I have had no problems with cleanup of "squeezeouts", using a wet rag and immediately wiping off excess after clamping. A little light sanding after drying serves to finish the joints nicely. TiteBond II is not for large glue-ups, but anything that takes less than 15 minutes or less at 70 degrees F to clamp and clean will be fine. I prefer TiteBond II's light color for light colored woods and TiteBond III for darker woods. All the joints I have prepared and glued with TiteBond have never come apart.
best wood glue [Posted on 2007-03-09] This is the best wood glue we've ever tried. It sticks well, and stands up to hard use.
