There is no woodworker outhere who doesn’t use wood glue for his assembling and joinery , no matter how experience or amateur he or she is . The wood glue is a first class material to secure your wood joints and we are all familiar with it , from our houses , our school years, et.c .
According to your personal preferences , you can use whatever type of wood glue as , epoxy , polyvinyl acetate (PVA) , polyurethane , hide glue , et.c , you want .
Remember the original post from the wood glue and its specs , in HERE .
I’ll give you my suggestions for your wood glue purchases , but in here the Titebond is the ultimate and undefeated King .
Titebond , Gorilla are “dominating the area , but i’ll give you some more options from a couple of top glue brands , everybody knows .
The Titebond Original wood glue , Industry standard for woodworking .
This is the most well known wood glue in the entire woodworking wrld and no only . It’s the one you see and hear called the “yellow” glue .
You can use it with amazing stable results for any carpentry project you have . It’s best for furniture repair , for your joinery , for general repairs , for wooden toys makers , for modeling , for carvings , for big constructions , et.c .
Major advantage among all , it’s non toxic and can be cleaned with water form your clothes , et.c . When it dries it’s super strong , almost as equal as the wood itself .
Even if it’s not made for wet conditions , it creates a waterproof bond when it dries .
No more talking from me , this is Titebond . Take it and use it for whatever you like .
Make your final checking and get it from Amazon in here . It’s a 32oz .
The Titebond II Premium Wood Glue , 32 oz . ( exterior use )
This blue 32oz bottle Titebond has all the classical advantages of the Titebond glues , but it’s focused and made for outdoor use and i think its the ultimate best for the job .
It’s super strong and will have no issue to whatever you put it throught in outdoor circumstances . It won’t stop in front of high temperatures , tough weather ( waterproof ) and general climate conditions .
Fences , chairs , bird houses , dog houses bowls , tables and outdoor furniture , et.c , is its environment and it does amazing job . For me it’s the best outdoor wood glue .
Go to Amazon for the rest in here . Yes , you can use it indoors , if you like . No problem .
The Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue .
If you want to have all the Titebond series ( I , II , III ) , you may get this third part of the series , which has all the known benefits , but as the numbers rise , the formula evolutes .
Waterproof , zero expansions , easy to wash out , extrememly strong when dries , almost zero clog in its nozzle , are all present in here , but even better and advanvced .
The Amazon has the rest for your purchase here.
If you want all these benefits in bigger quantities , or you just have the space to keep bigger quantities and benefit concerning the price area , you can get the Titebond III in the 1 gallon package .
I think it’s a good bargain , if you use glue very often , or you want ot leave some in your village’s warehouse – carpentry spot , which isn’t too close to markets , et.c .
The Amazon has the answer for you in here for less than a 50$ .
** keep your smaller cans , to re-fil them with this .
The Titebond genuine Hide Glue .
The cabinet makers know very well this type of glue , which is called hide glue and it’s made from inside “hidden” gluing in furniture and inside places .
Many carpenters use this type of glue to create a “crackling” effect to their creations , for beauty and this is a basic glue for them .
It’s very versatile and strong and you cannot use it only for “hidden” areas , drawers , shelves , et.c but to glue – repair more wood stuff , even if it’s specialized to inside joinery , mortise and tenon , et. c .
It doesn’t have the retention strength of the yellow – white PVA Titebonds and it’s more focused for inside furniture “missions” , which is best . It’s not waterproof .
It needs a little more warm environment than the other Titebonds , and if you’re living in a cold area , heat it up a little . The bain – marie method ( put it inside a warm water to liquidate ) would be nice .
Another advantage is that you can go back and fix an error if you made one , after the drying by using warm water .
Go to Amazon for more and buy it maybe from this path . It’s an 16oz size .
The Titebond wood glue have a very wide range of glues and uses . See the entire list on Amazon here .
The Gorilla glue , natural wood color , 36oz .
I couldn’t leave outside of my glue suggestions for you , lelaving outside the Gorilla brand and the bellow two wood glues .
I suggest you to have this PVA type one , which is very versatile , designed for extre water resistance , has up to 30 minutes to dry , it’s good for all types of wood and it’s capable to outdoors , also .
It’s a 36 0z one and you can take it from Amazon here . ( around the 15$ ) .
The Gorilla Original , Waterproof Polyurethane Glue .
It’s nice and very useful to have a polyurethane type of glue , to be complete covered in this area of the wood gluing .
What is the biggest advantage of the polyurethane glues ?
They expend inside the two wood connection surfaces , up to 3 times , fulfilling the inside space and give extra super strong connections !!!
This is a very helpful feature especially if you won’t to join two wooden pieces , having surfaces difficult to match . This wood glue type , fills this gap .
It creates a super strong bond , unbeatable from the weather conditions , temperatures , et.c . It’s 100% waterproof , of course .
Purchase it from Amazon here .
The entire Gorilla glues list in the Amazon in here .
The Loctite Heavy Duty Adhesive , Versatile Glue for Wood .
I know that the titebond and the Gorilla are “dominating” the wood glue area , but the Loctite glues are extremely very good glues .
I suppose many of you know Loctite from their other glue types ( exceptional for the motorsport area ) , but they have very nice glues for wood , too .
This package of 6 , is a very nice bargain( less than 50$ ) , in order to have some in your city home and a couple for your country house .
It’s a heavy – duty wood glue and it creates very strong bond . It needs around to 12 hours for complete drying .
See the last details from the Amazon and take the package in here .
If you want to make a check to the complete wood glue list on Amazon , is here .
I find this wood glue helper – auxiliary syringe , a very nice and helpfull assistant for your “surgical ” glue placed .
It’s very well made and the “fetish” is the brass nose , which is very conical and edgy , in order to glue even the most tight and difficult spots .
A very “silent” advantage of using a syringe for gluing , that maybe hasn’t crossed your mind, is that you can drill a tiny hole in the exact place you wan to glue and insert glue , using this syringe .
This syringe is very solid and if you don’t brake it , you’ll have it for all your woodworking life . It can take 20ml of glue and it’s super cheap .
Take it from Amazon in here .
Keep woodworking and always be safe and happy .
