User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use my is glue for a mirror wooden leg
Answer:	Just be sure to allow glue to cure before exposing piece to water (or severe moisture)!!!!!!
Question:	Is this glue apprpriate for gluing a bottom chair brace intp the chair leg
Answer:	This is a poor choice for gluing glass to anything . I'd use a silicon caulk / glue instead .
Question:	How can I get the glue out of the bottle and it new
Answer:	Below 50 degrees any PVA (polyvinyl acetate/yellow or white glue) doesn't develop as strong a bond and takes days to set. As this product contains a certain amount of water, it is suggested that your glue be set in a mild temperature.
Question:	This advertisement says $10 for 36 ounce bottle? I'm buying this now incase it was a mistake and grabbing that deal
Answer:	I assume you mean "is it safe for pets?" Although ingestion should be avoided and a poison center or vet should be called as a precaution, This glue is indeed considered non-toxic and therefore generally safe for pets. In regards to wood glue that is unsafe for pets; Be sure to avoid glues that foam as they dry, like Gorilla Glue and other polyurethane glues (avoid any glue that contains diphenylmethane diisocyanate - also known as MDI - as the active ingredient). The foaming/expanding glues will expand after ingested and can form a blockage in your pets digestive tract requiring surgery.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the mixed epoxy be injected with a syringe to ensure it fills a deep screw hole? Need to make sure the hole is filled in order to drill a new hole
Answer:	You can certainly try. I am not sure it will be thin enough to fit in a syringe. I would use the original JB Weld (8265S) rather than the Wood Weld. It can be drilled and tapped and is the strongest product we have. Thanks JB Weld support
Question:	Can I use this to repair chair legs that my dog chewed ver badly or should I use regular wood filler
Answer:	This is much stronger than wood filler, you can only work with a little at a time though, it dries very quickly so I suppose it depends how many repairs you need to make. I would probably still use J-B Weld, the finished repairs will be much stronger. Don't know what sort of finish you want to use afterwards that would be a factor too. If you are painting over the repairs it will be great for that.
Question:	can one drill and srew into it
Answer:	Yes, but I would always drill a pilot hole before screwing in a wood or sheet metal screw,
Question:	What is highest temperature a cured joint can withstand
Answer:	It's made for wood, so if wood burns then that is the highest temperature it can withstand.

User questions & answers

Question:	I am putting a new piece of wood to an old dresser top. Is this a good product for that
Answer:	I suppose it would, but it depends on the purpose...if the wine corks are just meant to be decorative then almost any glue would work. But if the corks are going to see any pressure on them after installation I'd probably use 2-part quickset epoxy (ie, 5-minute). Also, depending on how many corks you plan to glue on, only mix as much epoxy as you can use before it starts to set up. Experiment.
Question:	Is this glue stainable
Answer:	Dried Film Light Brown
Question:	can it be use for exterior use, like on a cedar deck
Answer:	I realize this is an old question, but...some overly complex answers there! Yes this is the strongest of the titebond 1,2, or 3. So its strong enough for sure, but still not the best option. As one of the other answers points out titebond 3 has a short open time, so I'd recommend going with a glue that has a longer open time so have time to do adjusting/clamping/shaping.... Also look for a glue that has low 'creep' to reduce spring back, and use as many laminations as you can. I'd recommend either an epoxy, such as SystemThree or a urea resin such as Unibond 800 for structural glue-lams. Both have rigid glue lines, are gap filling, and have long open-times.
Question:	Do you think this would work well for regluing an acoustic guitar bridge
Answer:	Cleanup with water but when it dries get out the sandpaper. Have used it in a laminated bench that has set out three years summer thru winter.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much setup time does this allow (i.e., how much fiting time does it allow before it starts to set
Answer:	Yes
Question:	what do you use for clean up or spillage
Answer:	Would say yes to this question, but make sure your glue lines are kept to a minimum and wait for it to completely dry.
Question:	Where do l find push carts
Answer:	Go to http://www.titebond.com/product.aspx?id=e8d40b45-0ab3-49f7-8a9c-b53970f736af where it says The ultimate in wood glues - ideal for both interior and exterior applications.
Question:	What’s the difference in the 5006 and
Answer:	I am a part-time luthier. I use this almost exclusively to build instruments...all parts. The problem you are going to have is getting the bottom of bridge and the area you are seating it in perfectly flat. The second problem is clamping it. You have to clamp this glue for it to work correctly. You could build a clamp that goes through the soundhole....or go with the $2-300 option and get one premade from stew-mac or luthier's mercantile.

Product description

Gorilla wood glue is the adhesive that woodworkers, carpenters and hobbyists trust for their woodworking projects. Gorilla wood glue, a PVA glue, offers the benefits of an easy-to use, water-based adhesive, with the holding power Gorilla is known for. This PVA glue is incredibly water resistant and Dries a natural color that offers an invisible bond line For your projects. Directions: for best results, it is essential that the wood surfaces are prepared prior to application of glue. For laminating, the surfaces should be planed smooth, leaving the board surface free from machine marks, tear-out and snipes. Also, be careful to avoid burnishing and end snipes. In general, apply a generous amount of glue on one of the surfaces. On hard-to-glue woods, apply the glue on both surfaces. Rub together with the other surface to distribute the glue evenly on both surfaces. Enough glue should be applied so that a fine bead of glue squeeze-out will occur when clamping. Coverage: one gallon of Gorilla wood glue will cover about 200 square feet. One fluid ounce will cover approximately 1.6 square feet. Clamping: the technique and type of clamp to be used is determined by many factors. In general, apply enough pressure that will cause a fine bead of glue to squeeze out when the proper pressure is applied. Clamping time (amount of time Pressure needs to remain applied): 20–30 minutes for room temperature applications. The temperature must be above 55°F. Note that clamping time can be dependent on temperature, humidity, and the porosity of the wood. Cure time (amount of time for glue to reach TOTAL bonding strength): 24 hours. Clean up while glue is wet: use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off excess glue. When areas have completely dried, sand as needed.

• Easy-to-use, water based adhesive with Gorilla holding power
• Best for building, carpentry or hobby projects using any type of wood
• Complete projects faster; requires only 20 - 30 minutes of clamp time, fully cured in 24 hours
• Use indoors or outdoors; passes ansi/hpva type ii water resistance
• Versatile; ideal for use on hardwoods, softwoods and natural wood composites

Product description

The product that started it all. Original Gorilla Glue built a name for itself with its incredible, industrial holding power and versatility. The water activated polyurethane formula expands into materials to form an incredibly strong bond to virtually anything. Gorilla Glue is a 100% waterproof glue, safe for indoor and outdoor use and strong enough to stand up to the elements. Gorilla Glue’s your solution for almost any project or repair. Sand it, paint it, stain it. Simply stated, it’s the Toughest Glue on Planet Earth. Directions: 1. Prepare and Dampen the Surfaces: All surfaces must be clean, dust free and tight fitting. For shiny surfaces, such as metals, glass and some plastics, roughen up the material to give the glue something to bite into. Lightly dampen one surface with water. We recommend using a damp cloth or spraying with water. Do not saturate the surface. For dense hardwoods, lightly dampen both surfaces prior to gluing. 2. Evenly Apply Gorilla Glue Onto the Dry Surface. Carefully apply onto the dry surface. Do not over apply. We recommend wearing gloves or spreading the glue with a disposable brush. 3. Clamp the Two Surfaces Together Tightly. Make sure the clamping pressure is distributed evenly across the surface. Or, if you don’t have a clamp, use heavy objects or Gorilla Tape to achieve the appropriate clamping pressure. Clamp objects for 1–2 hours. For best results, allow 24 hours to cure. 4. Clean up: If you need to remove any uncured “squeeze out” or wet glue, we recommend wiping with a dry cloth or using a standard paint thinner. Once the glue is dry, it is best removed mechanically: Try sanding, chiseling, scraping or picking. 5. Storage Tips: After each use, wipe the bottle’s lid and nozzle clean with a dry cloth. While still squeezing, tightly replace the cap and then store in a cool, dry place. You should expect a year shelf life.
