Hey guys,

Just wondering what everyone here normally uses when woodworking. I've found myself switching back and forth lately and can't seem to decide on a definitve answer on which is better. They both seem to have their advantages/disadvantages.

I'm kind of leaning towards wood glue myself... It's more viscous, dries quickly and isn't as messy. The construction adhesive (polyurethane) is nice because it expands as it dries and fills all the gaps, but it's thick, messy as hell and if you get any in your arm hair it'll leave a nice bald patch after you rip it out. Thoughts?

 

what are you doing with it
i like woodworking glue
but you sometimes need PL400 or something like it

 

For building sub boxes mainly.

 

PL400
wood glue is wetter, on mdf ? not bad if i'm making a desk but polyurethane is better if going all out f/g the box inside that is messy!

 

Yeah I went a little crazzzzzzzzzy with the CA glue. Now if I could just stop hurting myself all will be good.

 

Wood Glue. I have been a woodworker for 3 years, and the glue I use is stronger then the wood. If you glue two pieces of oak together, then try to break it the wood will break before the glue gives out.
