Googling CANADIAN suppliers is getting impossible.

I'm trying to find a supplier of Titebond II glue in gallons. I can't find a single supplier. I can't afford Lee Valley's prices and the stuff is only $20 US a gal at Rockler. Google is getting worse all the time for Canada. Even when you pick Canada only you still get all American hits.

Anyone know of a Canadian company that sells the stuff in quantity?

in Canadian dollars ($25.00 gal) from London Ontario.

It doesnt mention Titebond II or III. Perhaps a phone call would be in order

Franklin's (the maker of Titebond) web site recommends calling them

1-800-877-4583 or emailing them at

mailto: snipped-for-privacy@FranklinInternational.com

to find retailers outside of the USA.

If you have the Orange Borg in Canada, the US variety sells TBII in gallon jugs for about $15.

Lee Valley has Titebond II at C$9.50 for 16oz. That's C$19.00 for 32oz

- a US gallon. It also works out to C$23.95 for 40oz, a Canadian gallon. US$20 = C$26.98 at today's rate.

What's the problem?

This is a problem. Google allows those that pay to bump those that should be at the top based on other criteria. One of my web pages used to be at the top when searched with the appropriate keywords. Now there are only commercial interests at the top selling products instead of providing useful info.

The last I looked there was 128 ounces in a US gallon and 153.721653 in an imperial gallon.

Well, 32 OZ. isn't a US gallon, for one thing. Tom Someday, it'll all be over....

I grew up believing that 32 oz was equal to one quart and that there were four quarts in one gallon; where you educated?

The problem is that 32 oz is a quart not a gallon.

imperial gallon.

Actually there are 128 US ounces per US gallon and 160 Canadian ounces per Imperial (Canadian) gallon -- this is why the conversion to metric can make sense.

gallon.

Arrgh... I'm used to metric and goofed on quarts vs gallons.

Sigh... that makes the 16 oz bottles rather expensive - my apologies, Wayne.

Yep. a bit pricy. I wish Lee Valley would at least stock the quarts. that seems to be the size where the price breaks. I actually buy the handy 8oz bottles for most small work but I have a major outdoor project that will probably use at least a gal of the stuff.

With all the other responses, I guess there's no point in piling on.

In the lower 48, it's usually found close to the paint section along with all the other glues...

You don't know an imperial gallon and you call yourself a Canadian? For shame!

1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 liters

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters

For more conversions, DAGS....

Hi Wayne -

Liquids are tough to ship mail order... larger sizes just cost that much more, and there are limits to what (volume) can be shipped in a parcel, in a single container.

Then there's the whole question of freezing...

I just reviewed our cost on the titebond, and there's not much margin there....

Can't always sell everything for less by mail!

Cheers -

Rob

an imperial gallon.
