Observation on Elmer's Yellow Glue...

Nov 06, 2012 4 Replies

Finally used up the end of the Titebond jug and since don't use enough any more to justify the gallon of Ol' Yeller via 'net, bought a container of Elmer's off the shelf...



Observation after previous--it's way much thinner so is pita for running/dripping. Works just fine for results, just an observation that I think I'll go back to Titebond even at higher cost--it just isn't that much actual money.



OBTW, the container had a pull/push closing mechanism. Even new took all effort have to pull it open and after a use it glued itself shut to take pliers to pull...



Fortunately, the threads match on the opening w/ an old spout from a Titebond container w/ the little flat prong to go in the slot so swapped it out...



Just for any who are thinking/needing...

LOL.... I prefer TiteBond buy am buying the extended open time variety by the gallon. It is thin but also dries clear and does not take much longer to cure.

Mike,

I solved the problem of using a pair of pliers by making myself a wooden wr= ench. I just cut a slot the width of the bottle of the cap, so that it will= slide in under the cap and then with a lift up I can pull the cap up. I ju= st store the wrench near the blue, so I don't have to hunt for my pliers an= ymore.

Being farmer, I have a pair of pliers growing out of my pocket at all times... :)
