Hello,

Haven't used wood glues for quite some time, so am not familiar with
what is "state of the art' these days.

Doing a small home project with a few pieces of pine.
Indoor use.
Pieces to be glued are about 6 inches.

Important that they do not come apart.
Also, no screws or nail backup.

What's the "best" to use these days ?

I don't like using epoxies for projects like this.

I saw Gorilla Glue heavily advertised.

Is this what to get, or... ?

Pros and cons would be very appreciated for Gorilla Glue, and perhaps
some of the others would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob


Not gorilla glue. It is good for some things, but not (despite the ads)
the strongest. Go with a yellow wood glue such as Titebond II. You can
even use it for outdoor projects.

I agree. Gorilla glue is a polyurethane and polyurethanes do not stand up
as well as the old wood glue or epoxy.

And the damn stuff grows and expands so much it either blows out the dowels,
or you end up with a lot of gloppy globs you have to trim off. I'm sure
it's good for something, just haven't found it yet. Spendy, too.
