Which Wood Glue Is The Best?

“Which wood glue is the best”….then you refuse to commit yourself to saying which is your best 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Im a sundeck builder. Do you have a recommendation for gluing Trex decking and similar materials. We haven't tried expoxy because it hasn't been a big deal breaker if you get a gap in a miter on a deck outside. That being said I would like to find a glue for making and keeping tight joints. We also use the standard PVC trim boards. Thay can generally be glued with a vinyl adhesive or standard PVC glue.The real winner would be to find a glue for different brand of decking. Problem here is theya ll mak it slightly different

What's the best for a coffee table

That was a LOT of very practical information. Thanks✅👍🏻

Good video 👍👏

No time wasted. Straight up information.

IPA removes polyurethane glue

Superglue activator is water. That is why it does not work on wet surfaces. To slightly damp surfaces it sticks immediately but is not as strong as being hardened slowly by moisture in the wood or air.

Thank you. Very informative and candid review of available glues for DIY and woodwork/ My dad had a cast iron bain-marie back in the day when I was a kid. ( I still have it somewhere)To Mother's chagrin he would put it on the gas in the kitchen to heat up his 'bead 'glue' and fill the kitchen with its awful stink. If I am correct this was the hide glue obtained from animal hides/bones. It was sold by the pound as little yellow beads at good ironmongers.

Instead of hide glue, use fish glue. Same good effect except u don't need all the heat up faff

How to product it

Thanks for the info …. I’ve been using cheap pva ie 5 liters for £ 12 but now I’m not so sure … ?

Would you recommend using PVA Glue in fixing the guitar bridge than other wood Glue? was the bridge holding well?

hello,

can you use wood glue on mdf?

You've obviously never heard of Cascamite.

Wet PU glue wipes off with isopropyl alcohol and what happened to cascamite?

I still use white Elmers.

Excellent run down and explanation 👍

thanks

Hi
Let say I wish to glue wall hooks outdoor to hang house lights.
Should I use Polyurethane Glue?
Tough agaisnt weather cycles such as rain and sun.

Great

I use a lot for polyurethane glue and the way to clean for me is paint thinner

This is really informative, thank you. I am new to DIY and have a question for you. I want to attach thin strips of oak to my walls to give a barn conversion effect, but I don't know which glue to use and, more importantly, how to keep them in place while they dry (I can't stand holding them all each time, ha!). Also, will it matter if the surface is an old / hard wallpaper, old paint, new paint or plaster? Do you have any recommendations and suggestions? Thanks 🙂 PS - I originally thought of using rawlplugs, but I think glue is probably a better idea

Gorilla glue is rubbish

PVA glue is my most beloved glue very good for laying laminate flooring and assembling flatpack furniture.

Thank you for the video ❤️

Hey hey ... hope your week is goin just right! cool to just discover your channel and be subbed. Stellar job on these vids

Which glue is best wood worm

With super glue, the activator is not only for speed, but strength too. The faster super glue cures the harder it ends up. I used to know a guy in the military that worked on attack helicopters, and he used to use super glue mixed with bicarbonate of soda to fill holes and dents that weren't too deep. It makes the glue go off almost immediately and in doing so it goes solid as a rock. Activator does a similar thing. So it isn't just speed, but the speed makes it stronger.

CA glue always burns my lungs and nose if I dont use a mask filter. I use the CA for pens as a finish.

is there any non-toxic, durable, and water resistant that is plant-friendly (i’m looking for glues that is safe for orchids as i’m pitching to make orchid mounts from charcoals and wood chips)

Hi, Ive got to do a staircase soon, what type of glue would you recommend? I’ve seen some guys use that stuff that foams up (pu, I think) and others pva. Cheers bro

5 years for my old glue box... Added some water a while ago but it still works :)

I buy West System epoxy in 4 litre can and appropriately sized hardener with pumps that allow for simple and accurate mixing. Epoxy will to harden over time, but few understand that like liquid honey, all you have to do is put it in a hot water bath and it will re-liquify and can be used as usual with no harm to strength.

I had a bottle of Gorilla polyurethane I had not opened. One year later it had gone totally solid. Waste of money for occasional use.

Thanks for your discussion

Vaseline on hands before using glue makes most glues easy to clean from your hands

Call me a purist, but I still love hot hide glue. Although if I’m going to use PVA, I like titebond 3 and Elmer’s carpenters wood max.

A waterproof wood glue that was very popular in boat building a few years ago and I believe is still very good for exterior applications is Cascamite. Have you given that a go Keith and if so how do you rate it?

Mr. Skanky hands!! 🤣🤣🤣

Nicely done. TY.

thanks Keith, good informative vid 👊🙏 i use gorilla glue wood PVA does indoor & outdoor, but only as I got a deal on it recently working out to be a bit cheaper than titebond equivalent, though most places it actually works out to be more expensive

Thanks Keith, useful info as always.

I got poly glue in my hair and down my neck once. Oh the fun.😂

My go to glues are always titebond 2 and 3.

I always use waterproof pva for interior uses, polyurethane for exterior, superglue & activator for interior mitres before i fire a pin in just to temp hold. And like you, hot glue for temporary holds on things like router pattern templates etc. With the hot glue, you can spray a bit of isopropyl alcohol on after its cured, to remove it. It just peels straight off after a quick spritz of ipa 😎

I found Everbuild 502 PVA Wood Glue to be quite good. Thick, dries quite quickly and strong. 👍

The white and yellow PVA isn't a reliable way to divide glue types and not all yellow pva glues are the same as are white glues. Much better to go off of the ratings of D1, D2, D3 and D4. Most of the time people will be using D3 and D4 in construction and building

Great vid !
One day ... give polyurethane construction adhesive a go, especially in cold and/or exterior conditions.
