Franklin International 5005 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue, 32-Ounce Bottle

Ive been using Franklin International 5005 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue for over 10 years, if youre looking for strong, exterior wood glue, this is it. Among many other exterior projects now, I first used this glue to put together screw-less bird houses and they are still going strong to this day! These arent normal bird houses either, theres around 30 individual boards glued together for each bird house. Maintain once a year with a coating of polyurethane, theyll probably last a few more decades. Ive used this glue on every type of job, from small finesse projects to sturdy, contractor grade on-site projects, no issues. If you glue two boards flat together, youll never get them apart unless you use a saw. Eco-friendly, strong, long lasting in the Missouri outdoors, a fast set/dry time (I always wait 24 hours before moving glued boards) and easy water clean-up. Painting is okay, I recommend a good clean-up of any excess glue around seams and corners to avoid painting on top of the glue as much as possible, and use painters tape when applying the glue where you can, itll keep clean up easy and provide a boundary to contain the inherent messiness of the glue. If staining the finished product, youll really want to keep everything clean and tight because glue doesnt absorb regular stain well and it will show.

My feedback is mostly for car audio purposes. Works great in amp rack or sub box building. Great consistency for both applications, doesnt run too fast, easy to smear into corners, cleans up easy. The initial tack is really helpful for car audio applications since youre usually working with larger panels of wood, so its almost like having an extra hand. Once set, the MDF will split before the joint does. I really like the bottle, too. I go for months or years between projects, and the cap keeps the glue good to go when I need it. Its easy to crack off the old glue when the buildup gets too big and have a like-new tip. I dont have a project coming up but I ordered one of these because I lost my old bottle and Id like to have it when I need it!

Excellent product. Im a repeat customer

Good stuff!!! I order the large containers cuz I use it to refill my glue bot!

This stuff cant be beat. Its open time is plenty adequate, and it grabs quickly and is very strong, just as I would expect from Titebond. Youll split the wood before the bond breaks.

I am a HUGE crafter!!! That said, I have used almost every sort of blue or adhesive out there and while a hot glue gun is great for a lot of things, there are just some things that you need a liquid glue for. This stuff is the best!!!! I mix in a little bit of water, probably a 4:1 ratio, and then I paint the glue into whatever surface and the item sticks!!! It’s amazing!!! SOOO much better than other “crafting glues” and 100 times better than Elmer’s white or school glue. For glass items or to add texture for a real cement like hold, I will do a paper machete sort of lining first, using nothing but napkins or paper towels... I even use kleenex or toilet paper. This stuff really binds well and dries quickly. It’s easy to work with and I am confident when selling or gifting my items that they will hold together nicely. I can’t say enough good things about this glue and I can’t imagine ever using any other kind for any of my projects!!

TITEBOUND GLUE IS THE BEST WOODWORKING GLUE I HAVE EVER USED . THEY HAVE DIFFERENT BONDING TYPES FOR ALL APPLICATIONS . WELL WORTH THE PRICE .

A lot better than Tightbond 3. This one is thick and wont get all over and works just as good as Tightbond 3 if not better.

works good . good work time to get everything set
