Franklin International 5005 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue, 32-Ounce Bottle

I've been using Franklin International 5005 Titebond II Premium Wood Glue for over 10 years, if you're looking for strong, exterior wood glue, this is it. Among many other exterior projects now, I first used this glue to put together "screw-less" bird houses and they are still going strong to this day! These aren't normal bird houses either, there's around 30 individual boards glued together for each bird house. Maintain once a year with a coating of polyurethane, they'll probably last a few more decades.I've used this glue on every type of job, from small finesse projects to sturdy, contractor grade on-site projects, no issues. If you glue two boards flat together, you'll never get them apart unless you use a saw.Eco-friendly, strong, long lasting in the Missouri outdoors, a fast set/dry time (I always wait 24 hours before moving glued boards) and easy water clean-up.Painting is okay, I recommend a good clean-up of any excess glue around seams and corners to avoid painting on top of the glue as much as possible, and use painters tape when applying the glue where you can, it'll keep clean up easy and provide a boundary to contain the inherent messiness of the glue.If staining the finished product, you'll really want to keep everything clean and tight because glue doesn't absorb regular stain well and it will show.

Being a professional carpenter/furniture builder, this glue is excellent for wood! It dries quickly and bonds permanently. Though I wouldn't recommend for cutting boards or other high-moisture applications, it is great for dry applications! I use a damp rag to wipe off any excess, as this glue does not dry clear, but amber. This large size works great for on-the-job projects!Big Rudy

We have used all the wood glues out there, and hands down, this is the best all-around wood glue. We have used them all and I am the one who "finishes" the wood when the project is completed. I never have any trouble getting any little bits off the wood, or if there is a smear of glue it comes off easily for staining and finishing. It keeps the joints together and a little goes a long way. If you can only have one bottle of glue in your workshop, let it be this one.

It is the same quality as what we used before in smaller bottles, we used to glue wood board for garden in the back yard.

You have to be doing a lot of wood glueing projects to buy this glue by the gallon, and the small hobby bottles are always empty and pricy to boot. This is a good compromise on size and 3/4 of it won't die on you before you use it. Gallon jug is also hard to manipulate. IF you DO go through that much glue it's still good to get one this size and refill it from the gallon jug as it's easier to handle. Good midpoint value of price/size.I use it to also fasten foam to wood and certain upolstery fabrics to the foam, for building displays. If used to bond wood and upolstery foam, you must put the item flat and weigh down the foam overnight. About 5-10# a square foot and make sure it won't permanently dent your foam (I usually put another sheet of luan over the foam then put the weight on, filled and capped gallon jugs of water work well) The fabric I will glue as another pass after the foam is adhered, and CHECK FOR BLEED-test first! Some things a thin coat works well, some fabrics it will discolor, bleed through, or become too stiff to be pinnable. TEST FIRST.I consider Titebond II to be a good allaround glue, I stock that and the Gorilla Glue water activated poly stuff.Just be careful about not losing the cap.

I am a HUGE crafter!!! That said, I have used almost every sort of blue or adhesive out there and while a hot glue gun is great for a lot of things, there are just some things that you need a liquid glue for.This stuff is the best!!!!I mix in a little bit of water, probably a 4:1 ratio, and then I paint the glue into whatever surface and the item sticks!!! It’s amazing!!! SOOO much better than other “crafting glues” and 100 times better than Elmer’s white or school glue.For glass items or to add texture for a real cement like hold, I will do a paper machete sort of lining first, using nothing but napkins or paper towels... I even use kleenex or toilet paper.This stuff really binds well and dries quickly. It’s easy to work with and I am confident when selling or gifting my items that they will hold together nicely.I can’t say enough good things about this glue and I can’t imagine ever using any other kind for any of my projects!!

I tried Gorilla Wood Glue and had problems with the way it cleans off of the joints. Back to my old standby and I am happy again.

I just started wood working a couple months ago and out of about 16 builds, all glued joints are holding up well, despite that i work in a 40° F garage. Good product and goes a long way. Still have at least 3/4 of a bottle left
