titebond II or III, that is the question
« on: March 27, 2012, 05:14:01 pm »
I was looking, again, at using Tite-bond for applying wood backings to quarter sawn cores.  I searched the web and came up with several references to Tite-bond III having a shorter working time than Tite-bond II.  After checking the manufacturer's specs I found this to be UNtrue.  Titebond III had twice the working time as Tite-bond II.
I just thought I might pass that along for two reasons:
First I have misread things in the past :o :'(
And second, to help others who might be considering the same options.

According to Franklin, the manufacturer, Tite-bond III is stronger, sets up slower, and is more waterproof.  It also costs slightly more and has a darker glue line.
Cheerio!
