Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Ideal for exterior woodworking projects, including outdoor furniture, birdhouse, planter, mailbox, and picnic table construction, Titebond II Premium Wood Glue offers strong initial tack, outstanding bond strength, fast setting time, and easy sanding. The first PVA wood glue to pass the ANSI/HPVA Type II water-resistance specification, Titebond II is truly and innovative and versatile glue. Approved for indirect food contact such as cutting boards by the Food and Drug Association, this glue is ideal for radio-frequency (R-F) gluing systems. This easy to use, non-toxic glue is solvent free and cleans up easily with a wet cloth.

For more than 65 years, Franklin has been the industry leader in bonding wood and wood products. Our history of innovation started in 1935 with Liquid Hide Glue, a ready-to-use formula that revolutionized the woodworking industry. In 1955, Franklin again set the standard with the development of the first aliphatic resin glue, Titebond Original Wood Glue. Our history of leadership and innovation continued with the 1991 introduction of Titebond II Premium Wood Glue, the first one-part Type II water-resistant glue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong, But You've Got to Work Fast, June 16, 2000

This review is from: Franklin International 5004 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue, 16-Ounces (Tools & Home Improvement)

This glue seems to be a staple amongst professional woodworkers. I like the bottle design, which squirts the glue in a more controlled fashion and is easier to clean. Here is my summary of pluses and minuses:

1. This glue is very strong.

2. The glue sets very quickly, so you have less working time.

3. If you get a lot of squeeze-out, it's difficult to clean the glue off the wood. Heavy sanding is necessary to remove traces of the glue.

But if you are careful, this glue pays off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Glue, But Work Fast and With Care, April 19, 2001

This review is from: Franklin International 5004 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue, 16-Ounces (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have used this glue for a number of projects, but it is a little difficult if you have a large area to spread glue on or a complex assembly to line up; it sets fairly quickly and gives you a very strong joint.

The biggest gripe I have is trying to clean up squeeze out, especially in inside corners. A wet towel will pick it up if you work quickly, but that tends to spread a thin coat of glue on a wider area. Scraping the wet glue up with a little shingle seems to work a little better. After it is dry, the wood that has even the smallest amount of this glue on it will not take stain evenly. The only solution is to sand or use a cabinet scraper to get to a layer with no glue.

Overall, this is a good, strong, versatile glue, but you should try to limit squeeze out to avoid cleanup problems. If you are going to paint your project, it is no problem, but if you want a natural wood look, this looks unnatural. I prefer polyurethane glues that do take stain (such as Gorilla, available on Amazon) when doing natural wood projects. Polyurethanes are also better all weather glues. They have a whole different set of quirks which I explained in my review of Gorilla Glue.

Works very well. Franklin also has an "extended" open time version of Titebond II and its original formulation. If you're like me, the longer open times allow for much less hurried glue ups. I hope that Amazon considers carrying the extended versions!
