re: Glue

I used titebond I, II and III.
I have been buying titebond III for the last 3 years. I usually buy a gallon and refill the 16 ounce bottle;it’s cheaper. The gallon last me a long while.

I use epoxy, CA on occasions and gorilla glue only once.
Contact cement both water base and solvent based were pretty handy for some situations.

I have also been using hot hide glue with mixed results. The mixed results are due mainly to my inexperience with hammering.
Hot hide is fairly easy to make and use. it does not take hours to “cook” few minutes really.

I made liquid hide and got more than 30 minutes of open time by adding 25% salt by weight. You can do the same thing with urea.
There are many recipes online to do that.
I just veneered several panels for a project I am working on using hot hide with good results.

My take is some glue works better than others for some tasks.
