What kind of glue?

I use Elmer's Carpenter's Glue and Elmer's waterproof Carpenter's glue. I read an article that tested the various yellow glues and they are all about the same. What is so important is the preparation before the glue-up and allowing plenty of time for the glue to cure. Also, don't buy any more than you can use in a year.

I agree, I assume there may be some compelling use for Poly glues but after doing some fairly controlled tests I am back to the yellow stuff.

Stay away from Gorilla glue. It killed Perry's dog, Maggie, according to the Puppy Wizard.

When I frequented rec.woodworking, you were occasionally annoying, but I don't recall you being prone to quoting assholes...or being one yourself. So I have to ask: did you have a particular reason for cross-posting this to r.p.d.b.?

I generally use titebond II, sometimes gorilla glue. Just for giggles, I found out that the titebond II is fda approved for food contact.

Lots. I don't get hung up on just one kind.

Titebond for stuff where I want a quick tack, cheap PVA for biscuit jointing where I'm going to cramp it up.

Hide glue (the real stuff) if I'm assembling the whole of a good piece, and it's worth putting the pot on.

Poly (Balcotan) seems to go off in the bottle more than I ever use it. I only use that for softwood construction joinery anyway.

Took a chance on some woodworking glue from Loctite. Saw it at Wal-Mart, of all places. So far - it's fine. Adds credence to the notion that most yellow glues are pretty much the same. I also have a bottle of Titebond Extend.

Heck, Loctite is one of my favorite brands of adhesives.
