I stopped in HD to buy some waterproof glue for a project, I had some
Titebond in mind, but they did not carry it. They had the Monkey glue but it
was some horrible price for 2 oz. They also had Lepages Outdoor glue, Elmers
glue and Weldbond?? Weldbond looked intriguing for the price, but the specs
were a little sketchy. So I ended up with Ultimate something or other, a
Monkey glue knockoff made by ProBond I think.
Where do you guys get Titebond (CANADA) or what do you use for a waterproof
glue.

what do you use for a waterproof glue.
Titebond is not waterproof, it is water resistant. Even epoxy is
not actually waterproof, just very water resistant. If you want truly
waterproof glue resorcinal is possibly your best bet. You didn't say
what you were going to glue.

You can't always judge by appearances, the early bird may have been up
all night.

Try sealing an edge of MDF with Weldbond adhesive. Works great!
(unless you're planning to sand it and finish it with a high grade
finish, then I'd use automotive spotputty.
I use Weldbond all the time. It is the best PVA out there, with the
exception of Wilsonart WA 10, WA 20, and WA 3000. (WA 3000 is a bit of
a problem as its minimum size available is 5 gallon.) They even make a
Type II ( a two-part catalised version) for using laminates outdoors.
I use Weldbond to adhere laminates in difficult commercial hot spots
where contact cement just won't stand up. Like in areas around a
restaurant steam table.
As long as one part of the joint is porous to a certain extent,
Weldbond will pretty near glue anything. Available anywhere.
Titebond, all flavours, can be had at Busy Bee and Cabinetmart in
London ON.
Either will gladly ship anywhere in Canuckistan.
www.cabinetmart.com are a great bunch of guys who have a lot of stuff
the pros use at retail levels. (none of that minimum order shit the
big guys bother you with)
They also carry Pozidriv screwdrivers for those adjustable European
hinges. (Btw, it is real easy to mess up the head on a posidriv screw
with a standard Phillips driver.)

I do not know what is your project?
If your work is to be submerged in water for a certain length of time
Titebond and Lepage waterproof glues will not work. They are made to be
water resistant. In boatbuilding we say that they are no good below the
waterline.
To test if the glue is waterproof you glue two parts together and let them
cured for about one week. Then you submerged them in water and boil them
for 1/2 to 1 hour. If they do not come apart the glue is said to be
waterproof.
If you really want to have your project to be waterproof two part epoxy
will fit the bill.

50% humidity is in the "comfort" range. It's maybe a little higher than
necessary, but definately not wet or humid.

Thanks, it's not for a boat, just a cabinet in a damp environment. The
cabinet should not remain wet, but will suffer the occasional spill and the
Humidity could be around 50% most of the time. I think I'll get some
Titebond II for future use, but I've got some Elmer's Ultimate bond
(Polyurethane) for now.

I can't seem to find TB in any of the
big box stores or Canadian Tire. I've
also never asked. I get it at either Lee
Valley or Busy Bee.
When I was doing a search about a year
ago, I went to the TB site, and tried to
find distributors that are a bit easier
to find. No such luck. LV will ship it
to you.
