You probably get stains up front from leaning across the bench, too. Sort

they're just water, but they tend not to believe you.

No way. If I drip glue, it'll either land on the floor (in which
case I'll scatter sawdust for it to land on); or, it'll be gluing on
waed paper, or so it'll drip on sawdust, never on the bench. Whatever
way, I don't lay in the glue. It always gets wiped on.
On those rare instances I splash a bit of water on my pants while
washing my hands, I've got that coverd. I just splash water all over
the front of my pants and shirt. Anyone asks, I turned the water on too
far, and it squirted, very believable, no prob. All you've gotta do is
think things thru.

Which "new Tite-Bond" glue of which speaketh thou? Type III vis-a-vis
Type II or I?
If you want a "traditional" aliphatic yellow glue, try Woodworkers'
Supply's "Ol' Yeller" -- it's somewhat less than the name brands and
afaict, just as strong, etc., as any of the others.
As for personal preference, I use "yellow glue" routinely unless
there's a specific need of something else. Color could have some
bearing in some applications I suppose, but really can't think of one
off hand. In general, glue lines are thin enough that in the kind of
work I do they're essentially nonexistant and I rarely use light
enough finishes on light enough wood that it would be an issue.
Although I am getting ready to do some work w/ some maple that could
become significant--hadn't thought of that up to now...
All of them are of very similar strength so that's really no selection
criterion. The primary disadvantage of Type III (and to a lesser
degree Type II) is higher cost first, and particularly w/ III, the
longer drying time can be a bother.

As a side lite, I've spread glue with popsicle sticks, acid brushes, and

spatula. It's a small one that will reach into small places.
Probably. My prefer is Titebond II.
Spatula, eh? That's a fancy Latin word meang, " one more thing

Aha. Could see the truck cab before, but thought it might be
supposed to be a delivery truck. BIG letters stating, TRUCK REPAIR,
would be good. There's some similar buildngs, except for slight color
differences, around here. One heating and air place has it painted on
the sides of the building. The one that's housed various businesses,
includng a truck repair, has a sign out front (readable from two sides),
that changes every time the busines changes - put a railroad track
alongside and it could almost be your building scaled up.. You probably
already know, there's loads of stuff on model railroading on-line.

That's probably a good idea. I'll have to see about getting some decals
or try transfers and put a name on the side.

There's a saying among model railroaders: "A prototype for everything."

I've read a few of those articles... At the moment it's more than I
want to get in to. If I simply get a dry transfer lettering sheet from
the LHS (local hobby shop) I can have the building lettered in a few
minutes.
I'm not going for a sign, as there's no space for it. At one time, I
had something above the garage door, though.

Sure, plenty of buildings, specially metal, with an actual sign on

For some reason I'm reminded of one of the model shows, where a guy
had a small TV camera in his locomotive, and the view showing on a TV.
Very neat, very realistic view too, looked like a video from a real

I've seen them at shows. They're pretty neat things, but good color
would be important... and operating at frequencies other than 2.4 gHz.

Realistic, until the train hit it. No damage to the locomotive, and none

Yeah, that yellow Titebond sure doesn't tast as good as that white first
grade paste glue.
I didn't know there were others out there who liked that stuff too. I know
that my buddies and I were always getting in trouble for eating it. So much
so that when we graduated to second grade the teacher passed on a warning to
our next teacher to watch us if glue was going to be used. That teacher went
out and found some terrible tasting stuff, and she broke us of the habit.

There are spots that are impossible to remove glue from, corners for
instance. Better to see a tan spot than a yellow spot.

Maybe so.. ;~) I prefer the new Titebond III simply because of the color.
It dries to a light tan color instead of Taxi cab yellow.

A couple of people have mentioned that they don't care for the "short" open time
of TBIII. There is a TB Extended, and a TBII extended. My brain is about "set"
but I seem to remember reading somewhere about a TBIII extended. I did a quick
(very quick!) Google search and could not find TBIII Extend, but that brings to
what's left of my mind -
1. Could something be added to TBIII to increase the open time just a tad.
Like maybe a drop or two of water?
2. Do you think there may be a TBIII Extend in the future?

I use various TB's according to the temperature in the basement shop.
Right now the thermometer reads "moderately expensive", aka TB II. I
couldn't find what application temperature good old elmer's carpenter
glue is rated for. Otherwise I don't have any problem with it.

I use the back of worn out sandpaper for larger surfaces and strips of
veneer scraps in tight spots. There's always a beat up piece of
sandpaper to be found somewhere nearby and then straight into the
trash it goes.
