Thanks for the great video. I have a question. I need to repair a hairline crack between two staves of a bongo drum. I need a strong bond with a little flexibility, and also low viscosity. It sounds like CA glue might not be appropriate for a strong bond and because of its rigidity, so can I buy a less viscous epoxy or dilute one with a solvent that evaporates? I imagine using a syringe and maybe a vacuum to get the glue deep into the crack.
Thanks for the info! I've found that I regret buying a large bottle of titebond 2. It's great glue, it's just that I've had a couple of user errors situations where I got it on clothes or carpet by accident and it does not clean up easily. I feel like the lower water resistance of the original is worth the more forgiving cleanup for most projects.
Mistakes are all part of the learning process! If it gets on the clothes or carpet you have to try and take care of it quickly but I know sometimes we miss these things. It is a hassel to get it out for sure tho so i understand how the original works best for you. Thank's for sharing your experience.
sorry but i don't agree with this at all. titebond 2 and 3 are not waterproof at all. tensile strength will be drastically compromised and the joint will eventually fail under minimum stress, often in less than a few years. i am honestly surprised they haven't been sued for this claim by now. an epoxy should be used for any environment where water resistance is needed.
I'm guessing you are speaking from your own experience and of course, I can't say you are wrong in that regard but generally speaking, Titebond 2 is more water resistant rather than waterproof so it can hold up to being exposed to it sometimes but not consistently and Titebond 3 is advertised as being more waterproof and can stand up to it consistently (it's supposed to be). I usually use Titebond 3 and from my experience, it has held up well in a few projects that I have done that are continuously exposed to water. Nonetheless, do appreciate you taking the time out to watch and thanks for the comment.
Best tutorial on glue selection! thx
I 100% agree. Jason is a master in this area and you can definately tell from his amazing band saw boxes. Thanks for checking out the video.
