Titebond III Waterproof Glue, Gallon

I use this for a lot of different projects and it never fails me. It drys quicker (not too quick) and is easy to work with. I love that it is waterproof.

I like it for all my woodwork gluing needs. The large jug lasts well over a year.

This is the only wood glue that I buy anymore. Excellent bonding and easy to work with and clean up. Seems a bit thinner than several other wood glues and I appreciate that.

Of some concern is the fact that this glue dries a bit darker than other Titebond products. This is great for gluing darker woods like walnut. It is strong, durable and waterproof. I have built 4 rocking chairs using this glue with no failures after 10 years of use. The gallon size is by far the best deal if there is a need for a large volume of glue.

Set up, cure and strength exactly as advertised - GREAT! Just be careful with glue ooze as difficult to scrape or sand off. Usually let the ooze set for 30-60 minutes and scrape off but wait much longer and scraping will remove wood fibers.

I do a lot of woodworking. This is by far my favorite glue to use, especially for outdoor projects. It has always worked very well.

Good

I chose this glue because I am a segmented bowl maker and wanted a bonding agent of high quality. This product has not failed me once. In the gluing process it cleans up nicely with water and a damp cloth. The price is right when you buy in bulk. I highly recommend it for the wood worker interested in a quality glue.

Have used this to glue wood-to-wood only so far and it has worked great. Ive glued end-grained 2x4s together (cut at a 45 degree angle to form a frame) and they bonded tightly after sitting for the recommended 24 hours. Also glued (2) pieces along the grain. I wiped each piece first and lightly wet it with a painting sponge, then applied a thin film of TITEBOND III to each adjoining face. One thing I learned is not to waste a ton of glue. The glue bonds better to wood than to itself, so you need very little, just enough to fill in any grain and touch wood on both sides. If you can imagine this at the microscopic level, imagine a wood molecule touching a glue molecule and then another wood molecule on the opposite side, not tons of additional glue molecules. Hopefully that makes sense.

I enjoy using Titebond III often in my projects and I like using the smaller 16 oz. bottles when spreading the glue where I need it. Buying the smaller bottles can get pricey if used often enough, so I like to buy the gallon bottles to refill the smaller bottle when it has run empty. The glue works very well and I have never had an issue while using it in my projects. Its easy to spread with a variety of tools and gives you enough working time to clamp/assemble your pieces.
