What glue do you use when you need a longer setup time?
I haven't had much luck with a google search of this topic so I thought I
would ask this very helpful group. I have a kind of complicated book case to put together with horizontal and vertical pieces so I'd like to give myself some more time with a longer setup glue without going for the longer setup but messy Gorilla glue. I have seen some references to Tightbond Extend but I also read some negatives on this glue. What would you suggest? TIA. Dick Snyder |

We use TB Extend in the shop whenever extra time is needed. Its white
not yellow but other than that and staying open longer I've never precieved any difference. If you can find any literature from Titebond regarding performance differences I would consider the data 100% reliable. They usually have very good data sheets on their products. I think TB III also stays open longer and it is brown not yellow. Only thing i don't know off hand is the water resistance of Extend vs TB II or III.

What glue do you use when you need a longer setup time?
For my rocketry work, I use a two-part epoxy (west systems, 12hr) when I need a glue that won't stick right away (cardboard is notorious for speeding up yellow glue's set time) and won't swell the wood or cardboard. Not sure it's right for woodworking, but that's what I use. It gives me about 20 minutes working time. |

Epoxy is my other choice. I can't say about Titebond extend, haven't tried it yet. |

Dick Snyder when I have a complicated assembly I first try to divide up the assembly into parts I can do in several gluings. for instance, make spacer blocks to keep one end of the shelves spaced right while you glue and square the other side. the ultimate long open time glue is hide glue. |

I use Gorilla glue when I need a longer open time - as long as I don't use too much, and watch it to wipe up any foam-out while it's still soft, I haven't had problems with messiness. Looking forward to trying TBIII, though - as soon as I finish off my current bottle of TBII. Andy |

I have used Gorilla glue and still do.
I found that the holding strength is not as good on wood as epoxy or TP II or Lepage's equivalent. What to you think? "Andy" wrote in message ups.com... What would you suggest?

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. "B A R R Y" wrote in message ... Dick Snyder wrote: I have seen some references to Tightbond Extend but I also read some negatives on this glue.

None of these are killers for my particular project. I don't see these as "negatives", they're characteristics of the kind of glue it is. If they gave any glue "high marks" for end grain I'd be interested in knowing what--end grain is notoriously difficult to glue reliably and much of the art of joinery was developed to avoid this necessity. "White" glues (the family to which most Titebond products belong) in general have low water resistance--Titebond has managed to improve it a great deal in some of their products but for any use that involves regular wetting that class of glue is the wrong choice. As for having to stay clamped up for "quite a while", well what do you expect? The trade-off for long open time is long clamping time. "B A R R Y" wrote in message ...

Seems to work fine. I suspect it just has a bit more water. |

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. "Dick Snyder" wrote in message . ..

And when it sets up, I would put it against just about anything. And it is great for outdoor stuff, too. When I repair a cabinet or split door jamb, something that needs to be set "just perfect" this stuff lets you put plenty of clamps on before it starts to set. It is a great tool, and I wouldn't be surprised if it held as well as TBII. The only drawback for everyday use is its cost. Robert |

Next time mix some epoxy, then thicken with microballoons and apply with a popsicle stick. Clamp until set. Think you will be pleased with the results. Lew |
