In Response To: Strip: Which Glue (Darren)

: Hi,

: I am about to start on a strip Night Heron, and plan to use Titebond glue.

: Not havign used them before, is it important whether I use Titebond I, II or
: III? I know III is waterproof, but it appears to have a longer setting
: time, and if the wood is fully encapsulated this shouldn't be an issue. So
: isit fine to use I or II?

: And does anyone have preferences or recommendations? I like the fact
: I/original is an aliphatic resin but haven't worked with the polymer or
: cross-linked PVA's before so not sure of their properties or what they're
: like for this sort of application.

: Interested in any thoughts, etc - or other brands (available in Australia) I
: should consider.

: Thanks,
: Darren

I use titebond II also, but might check the Laughing Loon website as there have been issues with dark colored decks when using it.
