Sort of like when your grandmother baked, the dough had to "feel right."

Seems to squeeze out and then spread better/easier. Probably a viscosity thing. Runs were minimal and cleaned up better it they did happen. Plenty of open working time.

The high viscosity would of course minimize runs--that's one of the specific points made w/ it.

As noted earlier, it is a pva instead of aliphatic like the yellow glues which could be a reason as well for the difference in feel...

Thanks, was curious as not used it...

If it was me, I'd start by using my phone book, and call stores in my area, to see what they could do - if they sell it, bet they can order larger bottles if they don't normally carry them - that's always been my experience - that's how I'm getting the duplex nails in the size I need from the local Ace, the ones they stock are waay too large. If that didn't work, I'd call the Titebond people, 1-800-347-4583 - it's on the label on the back of every bottle. Hell, they might even be willing to sell direct, and ship it to yout. Never know unless you ask.

Good grief, you mean to actually get away from the puter screen and read a book, abet the phone book to do some basic research?

In this day and age, that's about the same as asking a 2 year old to give up their pacifier.

Good grief, you don't actually believe any of that do you? Couple of years ago, needed to track down some steel tuping. Called the first place under steel in my local phone book. They didn't have what I wanted, but they gave me a number to call. Two more numbers, and ten minutes later, I had the info I was after, including prices.

Basic rule of 3.

Starting from scratch, shold be in the right place on the 3rd call.

One of my favorite questions when I get the "We don't have that" routine is:

"Can you suggest some one who might have it?"

Now THERE is a generous offer. Part of the reason I come here.

Likewise.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.

I did some calling around to local suppliers. Found one place where after some discussion between their employees they determined that they didn't stock it in gallons, but they could get it from their wholesaler.

Since their wholesaler was fairly close by, they just gave me the receipt and sent me over there.

Total amount for 1 gallon of TBIII, $39 and tax. Probably about as good a deal as I'm going to get around here.

Probably, as it would cost at least $12 for me to ship you a gallon.
