Gluing

I use tightbond 3, because it has worked for me better than other products out there, and has a reasonable set time.

I Agree, Tightbond III is a good glue.. Dont forget about the original Tightbond though as well. If whatever your making will be indoors than the original is still a good glue.

I started using the TB III simply because it takes longer to set up which gives me time to complete the glue up and tweak the boards if needed.

I am partial to Gorilla wood glue, because it’ll actually work down to 50 degrees.

Thanks everyone!!! You all have been a great help!

Gavin, what did the guy at the big box store tell you?

LOL it was funny he was trying to tell me to use the elmers brand…that didn’t sound right

Even indoors, TBIII has a better color for the woods I use most.

TB Original, or Elmer’s Yellow, is cheaper and plenty strong, if the color is OK, use it.

White glue, like Elmer’s, Titebond White, etc… is GREAT for dovetails, box joints, etc… as it allows lots of working time and dries clear.

-- It's all good, if it's wood...

Elmers wood glue is fine, too. I have used a lot of it. However, I prefer Titebond III for the little longer open time.

tightbond 3 actually works down to 45 degrees.

All yellow wood glues are stronger than the wood, beyond that it’s just preference.

TB2 & TB3 for virtually everything.

I have used Gorilla glue but I don’t like the way it swells!

I still use TBII but I also use Weldbond for small projects as it dries crystal clear and is probably more versatile than any other glue on the market.

TCC brought up a good point. The Titebond III is more cold weather friendly. That is important in my shop as it is not heated or cooled.
