jnewman Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hide glue's kind of a pain but it works... you can also use regular titebond wood glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatientZero Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 For edge gluing like this, I use poly. Tends to form a nearly invisible glue line. Non gap filling, so make sure you're dead level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 If your joints are good titebond should be fine. It's probably the easiest to find/use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recursion Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I was using just regular wood glue but it didnt hold up very well. Ive never used tidebond though. Which one is the very best (Titebond II Gallon Titebond II Premium Wood Glue) Item # 86090 Model # 5006 $16.97 Or Titebond Gallon Original Wood Glue Item # 117199 Model # 5066 $14.96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 i've been using titebond II for a long time now and have never had a problem at all with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 If wood glue wasn't holding up well, your joint just wasn't well prepared, or it wasn't clamped good. I've never seen a wood glue that wouldn't hold a solidbody together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm with Devon here. You need to have your dry glue joint as close to perfect as you can. If you have to clamp the bejeezus out of it to bring the pieces together no glue will hold long term. Ten pounds of pressure is all you should be putting on a structural joint to clamp it up. Any of the Titebonds are good, any Borden's wood glue is good. Hide glue is okay but I think you have to be British for it to work easily. Polyurethane glue (gorilla brand) is unnecessary. It's best for wierd materials or high moisture environments. It'll work for a body but it's messy and takes longer to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Alex Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Polyurethane glue (gorilla brand) is unnecessary. It's best for wierd materials or high moisture environments.

So its perfect then, dries quite quick hot or cold, really strong, and fills gaps too! Only beef is that it stains your skin a wierd brown/black colour, and I've never been one for gloves, so you can imagine what my hands look like after Im done gluing!
