WAK Guitars Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I am going to put a top on a body soon and I've heard that Titebond is the best stuff to use a far as glue goes. I can't find any where I live, I've tried Sears, Canadian Tire etc. and no luck. Could I use regular wood glue? Sorry If this is a stupid question. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Lee valley used to have original,but I don't think they do anymore. I've seen it at Homehardware before. I just get mine with a stewmac order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarGuy Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks I'll try there. P.S. Nice to see another Nova Scotian on the forum! if you are near halifax busy bee has it. Just go up Wright Ave in the burnside industrial park. East Coast speciality Hardwoods is on Wright ave as well. You name the wood they got it. Not cheap though.

Rick500 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Amazon.com has it. Not sure what the shipping situation to Canada is with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I order some wood from Eastcoast once in a while.Didn't know they had TiteBond. I need to drive up to ECSH sometime,but I'm in Yarmouth and I'm lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Elmer's ProBond works too, if you can find it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAK Guitars Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks! I'm going to call Busy Bee, and all the other stores. I don't have a car so it'll be a day on the bus but oh well! I might call Kent too, ya never know. Elmer's ProBond works too, if you can find it... Yeah I'll give that a try if I cant find it. I did a little research and apparently titebond is an aliphatic resin glue. So any other yellow aliphatic resin glue should be fine I guess.

WAK Guitars Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I ended up getting that ProBond stuff. But I also got a plunge router and a set of bits for 40 bucks! A guy was selling it used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAK Guitars Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks but I live in Halifax. I think the ProBond stuff will work fine. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Just FYI: make sure it's the ProBond that's constructional grade (ie, pro) and for INDOOR use (not indoor and outdoor, which is like Titebond II, and not so good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it says "Professional Grade Wood Glue" and "Contractors Grade" it also says "for Interior Use". I almost got the stainable kind by accident which is water resistant. But I think I got the right one. does canada have home depot?they always stock it...but yeah,i mostly get mine from stewmac Yeah I called Home Depot and they checked on the shelves and nothing.
