Titebond III Waterproof Glue, Gallon

I wonder how long this sat in Amazon’s warehouse. Got clumpy within a couple months. Stored indoors climate control.

good product just deliverd late

Of some concern is the fact that this glue dries a bit darker than other Titebond products. This is great for gluing darker woods like walnut. It is strong, durable and waterproof. I have built 4 rocking chairs using this glue with no failures after 10 years of use. The gallon size is by far the best deal if there is a need for a large volume of glue.

Ive used 5 or 6 gallons of this glue now and am very pleased. I am a sculptor and often glue pieces of wood in shapes that make clamping, even with rubber bands, impossible, but this glue will work if I use hand pressure for less than a minute for lighter pieces and longer for heavier pieces unless they are sitting flat. The visibility of glue lines is minimal. I wish the glue would mix with sawdust/powder to make lighter colors for filling holes in wood, but it always dries pretty dark when mixed. Sanding the dry glue will tend to gum up sandpaper, so I have learned to clean up excess glue. Incidentally, the cheapest glue dispenser is a mustard bottle.

I have used this quit a bit. I have not had any of my joints come apart with this glue I like to use it with oak and walnut it is a good blend for color when gluing the two together. I also make my own wood filler with it by using sawdust from my sanding. I have found this to make some seamless joints. I do find when used with lighter woods it is a bit dark. glue does need to be used in a timely fashion or you will be just throwing it out. I actually refill my friends bottles with the gallon sharing the cost. If it starts to lump I use it up quickly and give it away to my friends. A smaller bottle would be a better buy if you do not go threw it in a couple months or so.

Had to build an exterior door for a customer. Was worried about the waterproof qualities so I made up a sample with red oak and left it outside in the rain and sun for 2 weeks. No problem. Decided to leave it out all winter just to see and it is still solid after almost a year outside. The wood will rot before the glue fails. Amazing.

This stuff is strong and dries well, but has a bit of yellow discoloration when it dries. I use it for making items to be used with food. Follow the instructions and it works fine, but if you dont it will show...for instance, dont try to use it and let the glue dry when its 40f outside...wont dry properly and will take forever. I am giving it 4 stars for the discoloration when it is dry, and only that, simply due to how difficult it is to clean up the work afterwards.

Ive been using the standard Elmers yellow glue for so long, I didnt really try anything else until Gorilla glue appeared. Gorilla Glue is great for outdoors, but you have to contend with the expansion and resultant squeeze out. Then I found Titebond III and decided that Id use it on my next Adirondack chair project. I love that it cleans up with water and a shop towel. Try that with Gorilla Glue... It sets up in a reasonable time, so your projects are not delayed by hours and hours. And so far the chairs that Ive built have seen several rainy days and lots of high humidity (hello Houston TX) and none of the joints have loosened. I got a FastCap Glue-Bot bottle and a gallon of Titebond III and now my gluing tasks are easy, efficient, and reliable.

Good open time, always reliable, fast set after clamping

This stuff is so far above and beyond your typical wood glue that it is just mind boggling why anyone would consider any other product. Ive only used the Titebond III so I cant attest to the efficacy of the other types, but I can say with certainty that this Titebond III glue has far exceeded my expectations. Sets quickly, dries clear, incredibly strong bond = satisfaction. Now when you add in the fact that the price is more than reasonable you really are left with absolutely nothing to complain about.
