    Titebond Dark glue

    I bought some Titebond Dark glue yesterday to use on a segmented bowl with walnut. It looks like maple syrup. I figured it was Titebond so it would probably work OK. Anybody ever use this stuff?

    Glue up, then stain etc. or visa versa?

    I am building a sideless end table from the designs in wood magazine. I am using cherry for the case and maple for the top. The question is, what is the proper procedure for finishing. I am using M&T joints. My concern is the corners. If I glue up first, I worry that I will get a blob of...

    Preferred glue to assemble bed with lots of spindles?

    I'm going to need something with a long open time, as I've got a 98 glue joints to assemble at one time, unless I try to do this up in pieces. I've got a feeling that might be the way I head, but I'll need to make some assembly jigs to do that to keep everything square. This is for a...

    Kreg Pocket Screw Joints - To Glue or Not to Glue?

    I'm going to embark shortly on building some kitchen cabinets and I was wondering what most of you all do when it comes to Kreg pocket screw joints. Do you follow the "Kreg way" and not use glue at all or do you use glue?

    Old glue?

    This weekend I did a little (very little) house cleaning in the shop and threw away some partly used bottles of glue (Titebond II amd III) because they were at least a year old. Did I waste the glue or do the right thing. I've been burned by trying to use old finishes and was afraid to try this...

    Heat Bending - what glue to use

    I have a project where I will want to heat bend some inlay banding on a hot iron pipe. The banding tends to separate under heat when using regular yellow wood glue. Titebond-II seems to work better, but I still get some separation. Anyone have any experience heat-bending a glued-up laminate...

    Super Glue ToThe Rescue

    It's that time of the year again. Those little painful cracks appear on the ends of your fingers. Clean then out with soap and water, let them dry, and put a drop of super glue on the crack.
