Byrdie Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm also on the Titebond wagon but have an instance coming up this Summer where I'll be using hot hide glue because it's correct for the application. If it wasn't specific to that I wouldn't bother. I'm not branded when it comes to epoxy - which ever five minute is handy. I anticipate some larger uses in which case I'll be looking into West Systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 What I use: HHG - fast-stick items - ex. no-clamp miters, open-grained woods, antique repairs, hand-hammered veneers, etc LHG - exposed joinery, plugs, splines, open-grained wood, moderatly-complex glue-ups, etc HGs - anywhere squeeze-out would be inevitable and visible WS 105/205 – general use, exotics/oily woods, outdoor furniture, marine, filling gaps, structural applications, hardware bonding, crappy joinery, etc WS 105/206 – as above, but more complex glue-up (my go-to epoxy) WS 105/207 – defects, knots, punky wood, spalting, bent lams, etc WS 105/209 – very complex glueups UltraCat PPR – bent lams, veneering where spring back and/or creep is an issue, complex veneer job, etc BetterBond – general veneering where spring back is not an issue, tight grained veneer, etc Unibond – veneering and bent lams where any movement is an issue and/or H2O will Pringle the veneer, longer open time veneer jobs TB Trim and Moldings - shop jigs, fast-grab, no runs CA - small visible repairs Everything else -- whatever PVA’s sitting around, typically TB-II Dark and/or Extend.

wdwerker Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have heard about the TB Flouresent , does it show up well with a blacklight? Cost much extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 TB3 is only suitable for outdoor projects. It turns dark and shrinks more than the others and leaves a visible glue line regardless of your skill at joinery. I've recently noticed that TB III leaves a visible glue line with maple.

dwacker Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have heard about the TB Flouresent , does it show up well with a blacklight? Cost much extra? Yes it works well and for the work that it saves its worth the little extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I use so many different ones for different things that I couldn't remember them all if I tried. I remember what I want to use when I'm in the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgaron Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've been using Titebond Liquid Hide Glue for almost everything lately. I like the consistency, open time, reversability, and lack of witness marks if I miss some cleaning up. I think I'll be saving the PVA for panel glue ups.

johneone Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Started to use Old Brown Glue on everything that doesn't need a waterproof glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
