wizardfire Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have seen on this site that Titebond 2 is the adhesive to use for sticking veneer to the front of a guitar. Is this to be recommended? Also, what is the difference between Titebond and Titebond 2? WizardFire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Titebond 2 is more resistant to moisture, which may prove a problem if steaming joints apart. It's more designed for outdoor use rather than fine woodworking, although that's not to say you can't use it of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Too bad search doesn't work.... we have had numerous discussions on this topic. I will put in that in the past I have said that Titebond 2 and Titebond 3 creep. I was wrong. The creep I experienced was do to different woods being glued together and on the places I glued like woods I have never seen creep in 2 or 3. To sum up past lengthy discussions in one sentence. Use Original Titebond unless you plan on using your creation to paddle a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 from what i have read on here the main reason to avoid titebond2 or 3 is they can cause problems down the road when you start to do the finish work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Use titebond original. Titebond 2 can stain lighter coloured woods like maple, ash, birch & so on. Stay away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenspoke Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=42613 Maybe easier to read this post than read the same old half baked answers. then maybe you will understand why Titebond Original is the glue you need.

Many thanks for this Woodenspoke! I had already made the decision and had to do a little searching to find a stockist in the arear where I live in the UK. I found one and bought the Titebond Original. I have already veneered the headstock and all is fine. Titebond is a new product to me. Up until now I have just used a decent PVA and been happy with that. However, having read the excellent review I will certainly use it in the future for any work with wood.

Woodenspoke Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks. But any good PVA that isnt waterproof is fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
