Titebond 1415 III Ultimate Wood Glue, 32-Ounce Bottle,Tan, 1 Qt

This is the glue I have used for years. It has great holding power. While not all my projects need a glue that hold up when wet, some do so I and this fills the bill for that. And I find it easier to just use the same glue all the time.

This glue worked to replace the face on a drawer that someone had slammed. Even without using screws or brads, the drawer has held up well.

I’m a recent DIYer, so I wasn’t exposed to a lot of products in wood glue, I know it’s the most common wood glue in the states, so I just kinda testing it out, my pieces had been glued with an very less skilled DIY technique, not enough clamps, but I found this glue very easy to apply and dried very quickly, though I have a hard time determining the amount I need and often times found myself applied way less than I needed and winded up finding out the cut glue pieces went separated after power tools treatments, but so far I’m liking it, because it dries quicker than the wood glues I used and it’s relatively easy to clean up. Not sure about the waterproofing part as my pieces have not been varnished or applied to work yet.

I used this product to attach window molding. The handyman said it worked well but he added a couple of nails to to make sure the molding didnt fall out before the glue dried.

Everything is still stuck together so I can say it works.

I have been using Gorilla Glue (waterproof) for years, and I like it, but clean-up is a hassle. Titebond is easier to use, easier to clean up, and seems to work as well (well see over time). I like that I can clean up with water, and the bits that dry on the outside of joints are easier to clean up and sand off. The only downside is that this glue dries in a dark color, which sometimes causes a glue joint to show itself more than I want.

I mainly use Titebond 3 for a few reasons: it supposedly sets at lower temperatures (45 F they claim) and my shop is sometimes a bit cold in the winter. When it cures it is darker than T1 or T2, which helps it blend with darker woods like walnut or cherry. Also it has a long open time, so I have time to do more complex glue-ups before things get stuck. Disadvantages are it takes longer to set enough to ensure parts dont fall apart: 2 or 3 hours minimum. I leave things clamped over night. I have noticed the dried glue is soft and fragile and easily scraped off after a few hours (an advantage), but does seem to get hard and tough after a day. If I need parts in a hurry I use Titebond 2 which grabs hold in an hour. Also its a bit runnier, so it seems to fall out of joints while Im trying to get things in place.

Worked great, sets fast, so make sure you work fast.

As I woodworker, I can tell you tight-bond 3 is the best glue out there that I have found.

Out of all the Titebond glues, this is my favorite. Easy to spread evenly, prefer this color to the others and excellent wood glue. Super strong adhesion. I use it on all my indoor and outdoor projects.
