Default Titebond III Does not Perform

Ok, now I found what I remembered, it's from the most recent Popular
Woodworking (Aug. 2004), on page 25.

They compared Titebond III with Elmer's interior grade carpenters wood glue,
as well as Gorilla's polyurethane glue. They glued up panels with all three
and then ran them through dishwasher cycles. The Elmer's failed during the
first cycle, but neither the Titebond III or Gorilla's failed after 5
additional cycles. That sounds like a winner in my book, especially with a
10 minute open time and 47 degree minimum working temperature. I'll look
forward to reading the Wood comparison as well, though.

and I don't think much of their Titebond II Extend. I
can't get a satisfactory bond. I'm afraid to use it on a
project because it's so weak.


That's interesting. I've used the Titebond II Extend numerous times and
have had absolutely no problems with it. I also saw a little note in a
recent magazine (can't find it right off hand, but I'll look for it) that
did a similar comparison of glues (doing things like keeping glue-ups
submerged, microwaving them, etc.) and the Titebond III did very well,
comparable to polyurethane glue. I think the magazine might have been
woodworkers journal, but I'm not certain.
