Glue and more Glue, so what do you use?

[Spectric]

Hi

Well I have probably taken glue for granted and I dare say I am not the only one , ever since being recomended Titebond 3 that is what I have used for woodworking and never questioned the choice, whilst for general construction jobs I always use Sikaflex EBT but whilst looking for kitchen ideas I have seen several videos discussing different glues for woodworking, Titebond, Soudal HB, Elmers, Permabond, Stixall, Maxitek and even Gorilla glue.

Then you can get a bewildering array of data

So what are peoples go to glues ? What do you like and what do you avoid?

All depends on the job really.

Most common glue for general woodwork is Everbuild 502.

I now avoid Cascamite it has let me down a couple of times,difficult to mix and nothing like the old stuff I could rely on.No idea why they changed it.

A lot of products used to be so much better than their current incarnation, Red Oxide paint and Creosote are now a waste of time and like so many products they have been made cleaner and safer just a shame their quality has suffered. I used to love the smell of a freshly painted room, all those fragrant fumes.

I use Titebond 3 for joinery. West epoxy for boatwork & i still use Aerolite 306 for masts & spars.
Doing a lot of boatwork i dont use Polyurethane glues like gorrilla as they are not reliable & have no uv restistance.

I use wudcare PVA, not the fast setting version, it usually gives you about 15-20 mins open time and has worked even for outdoor stuff, the everbuild 502 seems to work ok but it's a bit thick/gloopy, I'd use it if I had nothing else but I found it was quite messy and not long enough open time.

I just use a PVA, normal and water resistant.....
anything else rough wood and a screw get a Polyurethen glue....750mil for €8 euros.....as good as Gorilla glue....
Titebond etc is not available on the island....
lastley on the odd occ epoxy.....even Lidils when it comes in....

PVA sticks things together and that's enough for me.
