It was never meant to be waterproof. Extend is a bit thinner than the
regular stuff so it soaks into end grain. Preglueing solves that. As far as
clamping time, it stands to reason that a glue formulated to dry slower
would need to be clamped longer. Sounds like the article is saying that the
glue performs the way it was intended.

I got my info on Titebond Extend from the Sept 2004 issue of Wood magazine
that did some study on glue. They gave it an "F" for water resistance
(shouldn't be an issue for my project I hope) and low marks for end grain
to
end grain gluing (I don't plan to do it on this project) and they
commented
that you really need to stay clamped up for quite awhile. None of these
are
killers for my particular project.

I have seen some references to Tightbond Extend but I also read some
negatives on this glue. What would you suggest?

Titebond Extend or 30+ minute epoxy, depending on the use of the item.

What negatives have you read about Extend?
