Elroy Skimms Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Titebond II is my go-to for all raw wood. I'll use Titebond III for cutting boards or soap mold boxes. I use Roo-Glue for melamine and anytime something is being glued to a pre-finished board. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby W Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Titebond 3 for most things. I like the longer open time, but hate the spots on my clothes. Someone needs to come up with a remover for them. CA medium and thick for anything quick. Always have some 5 minute epoxy around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it hanging right near the work area, but all the glue sticks to me, not the apron. It must be the apron is defective. I wonder if Lee Valley will do a warranty return ,,,,, ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it because: 1. long open time, 2. you can wipe excess off with a wet rag and IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE FiNISH. The downsides are: 1. Need to warm it before using 2. Not waterproof. 3. Not available everywhere. 4. Shelf life of one year(longer if you refrigerate). Overall I find it easy for glue ups and you can take your time.

I have a complicated glue up coming up and was looking into using epoxy for the open time. System 3 seems much cheaper than west systems at least in small quantities. How's the open time? It works well but It's a little strange. I find it hard to squeeze out of the bottle. It mixes well but is very thick. During mixing it takes on s milky white color. It is not smooth to brush on but after its there for a couple minutes it somehow turns more clear in color and smooths out a little. Maybe I brush it on too soon. Despite its apparent thickness it easily squeezes itself out of the joint just like other glues so you know the joint is not glued starved. It does give you a long time to work - about 10 minutes ( I never really timed it. You also have to leave it clamped longer - at least overnight. When my current is gone I would like to try another brand because system 3 is the only one that I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Wright Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 One that hasn't been mentioned is 2P-10. I don't use it for gluing up furniture joints, but I do use it a lot for jigs, attaching trim pieces, repairing mistakes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
