3.0 out of 5 stars Not that impressed, I'll stick with Titebond II, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Franklin International Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue, 16-Ounces #1414 (Tools & Home Improvement)

After reading Titebond's literature and viewing their web site, I thought this sounded like the perfect adhesive. After trying it I'm not convinced. First, I dislike the brown color. I think it makes the glue line much more noticable. Second, I did not find the open time any where close to 10 minutes as they claim. In my personal tests Titebond III sets up in about the same time frame as Titebond Original. I glued up eight different boards using biscuit reinforced butt joints. The glues I used were Titebond I,II,III and Elmers carpenter's glue. Two sets of joints using each adhesive, and all wood was from the same board of pine. After allowing each to dry for 24 hours, I broke each joint. Elmers carpenters glue was about 50/50 wood to glue failure. Titebond original was about 80/20 wood to glue failure. Titebond III was roughly the same as Titebond original. Titebond II was the only glue with 100 percent wood failure. My experiment was not scientific by any means, and I think any of these adhesives would more than likely be fine for their intended purpose. For myself, I'll stick with Titebond II. It has all the characteristics that I prefer in a all purpose wood glue.

This review is from: Franklin International Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue, 16-Ounces #1414 (Tools & Home Improvement)

For many years I have been using Titebond II almost exclusively, and to great result, so I thought that Titebond III would have to be pretty outstanding for me to switch. On the first project that I used it on, I was very impressed. In the course of building an arts and crafts inspired coffee table, I needed to glue up six relatively long boards into a panel (the table top). I appreciated two things right away with this glue. First, the long open time meant that I was able to work at a comfortable pace without as much hurrying and stress as that sort of operation usually induces. Second, I appreciated that this glue dries to a light brown color, which blended in well with the general color of my q/s white oak.

Of course, only having used it for building indoor furniture, I cannot attest to the waterproof nature of this glue, but with all other things - open time, bond strength, color, etc. - I am sold. Titebond III is a winner in my book.

Used tightbond I, then II for years. Tried the III and can't see a reason to use anything else. Long open time, fantastic hold. I used it to glue up blanks that became croquet mallets. I purposely used only a light oil finish. These mallets took a beating, often being played with in the rain. A full season later and not even the hint of a joint separation. Also like the "non-yellow" color.
