Woodworker’s Guide to Glue

Video - September 20, 2019

This video is sponsored by Titebond. They are an ongoing sponsor of The Wood Whisperer and they supply me with glue for my projects. Titebond is a trusted name in the industry and you can always count on the quality of their products. While this video focuses on the Titebond brand, it is really meant to be a general overview of the common glue types you might come across and when to use them. I hope you find it useful.

I put together spreadsheet showing the most common attributes of the various Titebond glues. I made it myself so it might not be 100% complete and there may be a typo or two, but it should still work for quick reference. Check out out.

Links to the various glues shown in this video:

I thought it might be interesting for you to see the glue colors up close, so here’s a full-sized image.

Hiya Mark – Great video (as always). I know this was a Titebond video but I’d love to see something on various Epoxy glues as well.

BTW: EVERYONE misses Wood Talk!!!!!!

Well done and worthwhile presentation. I have no problem with it being a Titebond centered presentation, either. I echo the above remark, it would be very valuable to discuss epoxy adhesives (as opposed to filler, resins, etc.). It would be great to discuss gluing wood to wood as well as wood to plastic and metal.

could you use Titebond Polyurethane Glue for a mortise and tenon to fill in a slight gap?

  Nope. It doesn’t fill gaps. Epoxy would probably be your best bet.

I forgot where I picked it up, maybe Paul Sellers, but they used wood shavings to rub off the wet, squeezed out glue. I like this method since I always have shavings laying around.
