Folks,
I typically go through about a gallon of Titebond about every 10
months. I'm needing a new one.
I'm attracted to the longer open time of TBIII, so I'm thinking of
making my next gallon TBIII. This would allow me to stock only one
yellow glue, and remove the need for having smaller containers of TBII
and TB Extend around for those occasions where I need water resistance
or longer open time.
Other than the extra $14, which I don't care about when amortized over
a bunch of projects, can anyone provide any reasons why I shouldn't
use TBIII for everything?
Thanks!
Barry

Not yet,. but I probably will. I like the GF2002 from Lee Valley for
interior work, but I sometimes need an outdoor glue. Why carry both when
one works well for everything?

Go for it. I've been using III almost exclusively for the past year.
Although I do/did have a quart of II left over from previous projects and
have lately been using it up before I buy more III.
I like III for its longer open time and lower temperature range use ...
although the latter doesn't come in to play here in Texas very often, I
actually brought a bottle of II into the house night before last for use
yesterday morning due to unseasonably chilly weather.
I would not have felt the need with III.

CPTV doesn't carry Norm, but CPTV2 does. They run nothing but How-To shows
as part of a package that PBS calls "Create." On Comcast it comes in on
channel 185. I have no idea if it is also available via satellite.

We have Eastern CT cable. they give us WGBH out of Boston. as well as the
CT station. More options at pledge time that way.

Thanks!
I can read all the data sheets I want, but was hoping someone was
doing what I want to do. Just to be sure...

I'm afraid it's only on cable. In fact, it's apparently only on Comcast
cable. UCONN games won't be a problem until next season. Any remaining
game(s) they have will be on network TV next weekend.

How did it go bad? I've used TBI and TBII that was several years old and
didn't experience any problems with bond strength. The only thing I did was
mix a little water back in to get the consistency right.... What am I
missing? Will the joints eventually fail?
which leads me to my experience with TBIII, the glue I bought was very thick
and difficult to spread. Is this usual? If not I'll water it down a tad
and see if it still works correctly.

IMHO the shelf life may be shorter on the TBIII than with the TBII.. I had
to toss a small container of TBIII that was half full and was about the same
age as some TBII. Both were about 2 years old. Franklin sent me a case of
small bottles of TBIII and the last bottle went bad. If you are using a
gallon every 10 months you should not have a problem.

I go through about a gallon a week - down a bit as I am using more
Const Adhesives. Thus, cost is a factor for me. However, were I in
your position I would go with III

It got darker aroung the top of the glue and became hard.

I don't recall the glue being very thick however in the winter it is
thicker. TBII is almost too runny during the summer in Houston.

Brown like aged golden oak or fresh cut walnut?
