I was getting an order together for Lee Valley today and saw that they
sell "Lee Valley Cabinetmaker's Glue 2002 GF" for approximately $50 a
gallon. Am I missing something, or does this seem really, really
expensive? Even Titebond III only goes for around $30 a gal. Maybe
someone who has used it can let me know if it's worth it. Thanks.

SFWIW.
Last gallon of Titebond II I bought was about 6 months ago and the
price was about $20/Gal.
I bitched like mad since 6-8 month earlier the price was about
$12-$14, but I still bought it
Before I paid $50/gal for wood glue, think I'd use epoxy and
micro-balloons.

So am I, although frankly it's not much easier to find stuff local to
Calgary via the web.
Chris, I see that Windsor Plywood has Titebond (I, II, and III) in
four-litre jugs on their website. No price listed, though. Also, try
giving Black Forest Wood (http://www.blackforestwood.com/) a call.
They're located in Calgary, and may well have the stuff at a decent
price. Friendly bunch, great wood, although their website...isn't
the greatest.

How about this?
Next time I'm @ Coastal Tool (this week), I'll check the gallon price.
After that, I'll check retail shipping rates. If it all works for
you, I, as one 'wrecker to another, will ship you a gallon. You can
mail me a check for the actual total cost when it arrives in
Canukistan.
Coastal doesn't list the glue on the web, but that's where I buy mine.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.
I did some calling around to local suppliers. Found one place where
after some discussion between their employees they determined that they
didn't stock it in gallons, but they could get it from their wholesaler.
Since their wholesaler was fairly close by, they just gave me the
receipt and sent me over there.
Total amount for 1 gallon of TBIII, $39 and tax. Probably about as good
a deal as I'm going to get around here.

Actually $48 US for 4 liters (135 ounces).
Compared to TB II and TB III it is more expensive, but I like working with
the LV glue better. Is it 100% better? I'd have to think about that. I
don't buy a gallon at a time.

In the sizes that LV stocks titebondIII, it's more expensive than the LV
glue.
Around here (SK, Canada) I haven't been able to find gallon containers
of titebondIII, and 1qt containers go for $18.
$30 gets you a gallon of Elmers. Name brand stuff is quite a bit more.

Good grief, you don't actually believe any of that do you? Couple
of years ago, needed to track down some steel tuping. Called the first
place under steel in my local phone book. They didn't have what I

It's a PVA instead of an aliphatic glue w/ a very high viscosity and
relatively long open time. For applications where that were important
it might be worth it, but I'd think Type III would cover most of that.
I didn't look, but might compare it to the specialty trim "no-sag" or
"trim" but still more expensive by quite a bit I think.

Don't know what their shipping outside US is, but might try Woodworker's
Supply (www.woodworker.com) -- they're good to deal with and as
reasonable as anybody price-wise.
I'm surprised there isn't easily accessible local supply for items as
ordinary as glue???

Hmmm...any cabinet shops or commercial ww'ers that could find where they
purchase supplies?
Two more goodun's to deal with--again I don't know about shipping
policies to the frozen north... :)
Klingspor -- www.woodworkingshop.com
Woodworker's Hardware -- www.woodworkershardware.com
The latter is in Sauk Rapids, MN, at least up that general direction
altho you could be west, not east or central of course. It might be
they're in closer proximity altho it's probably not distance that's
controlling shipping, anyway...

Have you tried Lowes? They have stores in Canada and do mail order as
well, so should be a different situation from Woodcraft.

The high viscosity would of course minimize runs--that's one of the
specific points made w/ it.
As noted earlier, it is a pva instead of aliphatic like the yellow glues
which could be a reason as well for the difference in feel...
Thanks, was curious as not used it...

Seems to squeeze out and then spread better/easier. Probably a viscosity
thing. Runs were minimal and cleaned up better it they did happen. Plenty

Looks like it depends on the item. I tried buying the glue, and got:
"We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination."
