I hate quoting myself:
That's my suspicion anyway! Oh yes, Titebond is also used to glue other things than hardwood, such as leather, softwoods, particle board and other porous materials. A lot of materials people are adhering won't always develop a seamless join and a glue line will be evident. This is where a darker glue is useful. We - on the other hand - go out of our way to calibrate, mask, scale, flatten, plumb, align, stabilise, match, grade, regularise, measure, surface, gauge, scrape, flush, smooth, plane, sand, scuff and true our edges to make sure the join is foremost mechanically stable, and hopefully by design cosmetically perfect. I can understand why you'd want to achieve what you want Chris, but unfortunately this product won't produce the goods in that way. Blame the faulty universe, not me or Franklin.
I have - however - some choice wenge veneer you'd be interested in, but shipping from the UK would be a killer!
