Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue

Great for cutting boards (and other wood projects). I build four cutting boards for gifts and they all came out great. Excess glue cleaned up nicely with a little water. Used this product specifically for the fact that it is waterproof, which I tested with some scrap wood. It held despite my leaving it in a bucket of water overnight. Goes on easily and spread nicely with my glue brush. Cleans up quickly, but don’t wait too long (> 10 minutes) as it holds tight once it dries!

This is a good product that works as well as any other wood glue that I've used.

So far so good... I needed to re-assemble a really, really old end grain cutting board. It's so old the original glue had failed and it was ever so slowly falling apart. I started off with regular Gorilla wood glue (not the one that foams) and discovered the hard way, that glue has just about zero water resistance. The board had gotten covered with all sorts of crud during the reassembly process so I set it to soak in hot water, detergent and borax for a couple of hours... Don't do that. The board fell apart right at the new glue seams... Wary now, I did a lot of searching specifically for wood glues recommended for endgrain cutting boards. Whaddya know? There really is a glue that is specially recommended for this purpose. Woodworker after woodworker recommended the Titebond 2 as just right for cutting boards. Titebond 3 is even more water resistant than #2 but the cost...Knowing me and my ability to forget things soaking in the sink, I went with Titebond 3. I was quite surprised to find this glue really does wipe off with just water. I was expecting something much more difficult (like the foaming gorilla glue). The odor was, well, glue-like. Identical to Elmers... It was mild enough that I never felt the need for additional ventilation. The set time was generous. I had no problem assembling everything before the glue dried on me. The recommended clamp time is 24 hours. My board had fallen apart into enough pieces that I decided to err on the side of caution and ordered the 8 oz size. Turns out the 4 oz size would have been more than enough. For some reason, I went through much more of the gorilla glue than the Titebond.... And after much gluing, clamping and final sanding to clean up the glue smears, my cutting board seems to be good as new. I was pretty blown away by the price/quality for this glue. It's more than price competitive. Eek! I am discovering the hard way that mineral oil will dissolve titebond. Eventually. There was one seam where I didn't clamp hard enough. There were some spots where the wood wasn't making great contact. It was just titebond filling the gap. Alas the mineral oil worked it's way in, the titebond softened and I could scrap out the bits of titebond peeking out. On the other hand the rest of the seam was clamped properly and it doesn't look like the seam is going to give up the ghost anytime soon. Well rats!

Very good glue that holds wood together like it’s a single piece. I use it for almost all my woodworking projects. It’s got a good consistency. Not too thick and not too thin. It has a small amount of creep which I like because being flexible can help when the wood moves due to humidity changes. It sets up within 5 - 10 minutes so you have time to assemble but doesn’t make you wait all day for it to grab. Great glue that I can rely on.

Great wood glue works as expected to.

Excellent bonding strength and dries clean without any residue. Ideal for woodworking projects that need waterproof durability.

This glue works well, and it is easy to use. Unlike another brand, I’ve tried it is not impossible to reopen the container after one use. The bottle opens well.

Used for years. Good glue. Must pay attention to the temperature. Will not work if cold.
