PG’s have thier place. I have used a few brands on some old house rehab’s, and a couple old wooden stairway restorations. Gorilla glue and Locktite(Henkel) were my favorates. I never tried the TiteBond. The down side to Poly’s is the cleaning because you cant just use a wet rag. I always used acetone for cleaning. It also expands alot while it is setting, so you need to keep and eye on it when it is used in a high profile area. I learned that the hard way on some custom cedar panels I was installing in a closet. As far as my woodworking hobby goes, I would never use it. Good old TiteBond PVA is alot easier to clean. My “science” was on job site applications flying by the seat of my pants.

A few places where I have used Poly’s :
1. Oily woods (Cedar closets)
2. Bonding pieces that are alreay finished
3. Wet wood
4. loose socket joints (stair ballusters) Poly’s expand alot
