I don't know why you'd go w/ TB III anyway, unless you really
must
have
the lower chalk temperature (not sure about the extend version

that?) or the water resistance.

TBII looked like a good bet when it come on the market.
Complicated
glue-ups where every minute counts; and cabinets used in
occasionally wet environments, like kitchens and baths, where
leaks,
and repeated spills in the same areas, are not uncommon.

Granted, not that it makes that big a difference, but I do try to
use materials in those type environments that make for a more
robust
end product, and push the odds in my favor at the same time, no
matter how slight.

Just one of the reasons epoxy exists.

It's waterproof and with a slow hardener has a 25 minute pot life

77F (25C).

AND if needed TB III and the like glues can be reversed.

No thank you.

Words from the bard of Festool, "And unbelievable more expensive".

Guess "expensive" is a relative term; however, it helps to know how to
buy.

Reverse a glue job?

Really?

Guess it takes all types.

BTW, it's possible to break an epoxy joint as long as it is still
"green".
