[larry merlau]

what type of glue is reccommended by you for your work and why? i will simplfy this to just the tite bonds not the cna or gorrilla types just your go to glue for anything,, cabinets, furniture glue up, panels the time ranges arent to differnt from what little i know..
type 1=20 mins
type 2=20 mins plus exterior applications
type 3=30 mins longer shelf life

delete the other one without the poll. thanks tried but couldnt find the switch

I'm going to answer this as if I was doing segmented turning.

Titebond 1 because it's the strongest of the three.

If I need a longer open time, I use white glue (as in Elmer's)

Larry,

I use the original Titebond. In fact, I just bought another bottle this week because I'm about out and I'm building cabinets. Yeah, I have less working time but I've had such good luck with it....why try anything else.

[Tony Baideme]

I use Titebond II for most projects and either Elmer's (both white and yellow) or Gorrilla for others. I don't do all that much glue-ups yet and I'm still learning.

Aloha, Tony

For the past few years I have generally used the 2002GF from Lee Valley.
I also picked up some Titebond2 last fall, and have started using that more often.

I don't glue enough -- hobbiest! -- to have that many bottles on the go. In fact I usually write the date on the bottle in marker when I buy it so I can judge how old it gets -- usually goes 12-16months before I'm done.

Got 'er done, Larry.

Of the yellow glues, I use Titebond II. I was buying it by the gallon when I was making a lot of cutting boards, but I've not done a lot of flat work for a while, so the last gallon has lasted me well over a year. (With a lot still in the bottle.)

For most of my work these days, CA and epoxy are my go-to glues.

TB2 has worked well for me! No real reason why. It's what I've used for a while and I'm happy with it! If I start doing more veneers I may look more into the ureas.

I don't use Titebond, because it is about 3 or 4 times as expensive as the Japanese brand

The glue I use would be your typical PVA glue, which would be a Titebond #1 or #2 if it is for outside.

Why? Works good, is cheap and has not failed me yet!
