    Project Farm
    Based on my personal experience working in the trades, I would say those results are basically what I expected. Haven’t used the Dyna Grip but all others.
    Cost is such a significant factor that many people don’t realize sometimes. If it’s a small job where you only need a few tubes, the cost difference is not overtly significant. But if you’re on a large site or commercial, dozens upon dozens of tubes can significantly change the cost! Therefore in those situations you have to use what suffices for the application while it also meeting the bottom line.
    One of the typical features that I noticed seems to change the strength in holding power of construction adhesives is whether it is water-soluble or not. The non-water-soluble adhesives always seem to be stronger. But at the same time, whatever they touch… It never comes off LOL. From a tool to clothes to sometimes your fingers ha ha.
    Great job once again! Keep up the great work!

    I use a LOT of Loctite PL 3x - it's my favorite. Some of the things missing from the video are other characteristics besides strength. PL 3x slightly expands when curing and can fill uneven surfaces a lot better. It also doesn't run like Liquid Nails and is super easy to work with. PL 8x holds great when all the conditions are correct, but is very unforgiving and difficult to work with. It's not good in tight fitting applications and you have to work quickly because it's thick and cures really fast - it's work just getting the stuff to come out of the tube...

I glued the block together, and filled the pond and let the water flow over the wet glue. Being poly based it helped cure the glue. The wall is about 3 feet high and wide and weights about 150 pounds. every fall I lift the wall out by the top block and clean out the pond. The PL8X has been under water all summer ever summer for 8 years and still holds stronger than any submersible glues I had tried to use.

      3M on the other hand never really tried to sell me anything, and yet they are an industry gigant. That gives them a certain appeal as they aren't known to be cheap and yet their stuff sells like hotcakes. I've also used several 3M "permanent" double sided tapes in my work. These I was informed is used in the aerospace industry to replace welds or riveting in constructing wing elements for commercial jets. If they are good enough for that I guess they are good enough for my use when building custom computer solutions. It's not always possible to screw, rivet, weld or solder something in place, and then a "permanent" double sided tape can do wonders.

That way we can watch all at once. Then repeat with the best of each product so we can see the failure order like it's an endurance race to the win.

    These glue test videos are really helpful. Thanks. One suggestion -- make sure that all the glues that are being tested within their rated shelf life, typically 1-2 years. Many really good glues get both great ratings and dismal ratings and you wonder why. It's typically because some glues are sold well past their rated shelf lives, and the glues typically don't fully cure because of that. So be picky about where you buy them and check the date codes on the packaging before purchasing.

      The PL Caulk is amazing stuff too. It takes longer to cure than others but spraying a little water on it makes it cure faster. I used PL Caulk to "spackle" a plywood soffit that was exposed to rain runoff before painting it. The wood was failing pretty badly. After 10 years it still hasn't failed. I also used it to patch a hole in my Aluminum camper roof during a Rocky mountain downpour. A word of caution: PL caulk doesn't like exposure to the Sun's UV so keep it protected like with paint.

      kurikuri4sherm use wood glue. If you were only glueing end grain without using a joint or Mortis for strength a construction cement might be better. Any glueing with the grain of the wood which is most glueing application wood glue like titebond 2 will make it 1 piece the wood will fail before the glue every time.

    • @blahorgaslisk7763
      @blahorgaslisk7763 5 років тому +1

      @@kennethwright8081 In my (very limited) experience wood glue intended for carpentry has always been colorless. These construction cement however has all been grey, brownish or tan. They certainly wasn't colorless. So while some of them might be stronger in certain situations they will also be a bad choice if you intend to varnish or oil the finished project. If you're going to paint it I guess that wouldn't really matter though. The consistency of the cured glue might matter though. Most wood glue ends up being hard, while at least some construction cement ends up slightly flexible.
      But as I said I have very limited experience, and these are just my observations and thoughts on the matter.
      Something wood glue isn't good at by itself is filling in voids. You can mix in sawdust and make a paste of it to do that, but it won't have much strength. Construction cement might be a better choice for something like this, but if it has to be strong my goto fix is some kind of two part epoxy. I guess something like JB Weld would do great for this. Again this won't be an invisible joint or filler if the piece is to be varnished or oiled, but if it's painted then that doesn't matter.

      In this case it's quite easy to see which product is the best, but in some cases, such as the superglue tests, I think it was, there were several choices depending on what kind of stress your joint was going to experience.

    I have been woodworking since I learned the basic skills in high school (and that was in the 60's) and now I am confused when choosing a wood glue to use. For years I have always used good old Elmers yellow wood glue and used it by the gallons.
    Now there is tons of different wood glue including glue that will bond anything. Seems like all the glue makers have similar products in categories, ie Titebond 1, 2, waterproof and I think they have a pro glue also. Of course Elmers in the same type of categories and Gorilla Glue the same. Most confusing is the claim of "WATERPROOF" not water resistant but waterproof. If I wanted a good strong joint like building boats and making water ski's I would mix up some powered resorceinol and that was waterproof stuff and I used West System Epoxy on some projects. Most woodworkers don't need epoxy or resorceinol for indoor projects but now we can use an outdoor waterproof glue to hold our projects together without expensive epoxy if their claims are true.
    Another problem I found with Titebond & Gorilla wood glues is the shelf life is short after they are opened, I had several dry-up in the bottle and wasted some money. Good old Elmers wood glue separated but I stirred it up and it works like new.
    There are several brands now of waterproof wood glue, just check amazon for some confusion.
    If you could someway sort this all out. How well does the glue hold up after being exposed to water. Too bad AMSOIL doesn't make glue, it would be the best!

      I simply do not understand people like you. These videos take enormous amounts of time to make, expensive equipment and software to capture and process and that doesn't even cover the materials and testing equipment. I have zero issue with folks taking 45 seconds to mention patreon or merchandise if it helps them create content like this. Hell you can even fast forward past these kind of plugs.

    I'm impressed with the Lock Tight 8X. I've never used it. Often I use "Sika Flex construction adhesive." It comes in different colors which helps at times and I've seen it used in industrial conditions (high rise buildings) for setting aluminum window frames to the concrete building.

      Those results really confuse me. I've never used LN, but even so it seems the HD version was just way to weak for it to ever be used for anything. Wouldn't this have been public knowledge by now if it's that bad? It just doesn't compute for me. I can't help but wonder if there might have been some kind of problem with the sample used. I can see how it might not be the best, or even really good, but this bad? The company has been working on their image for a long time now. Having a product this bad on the market could be devastating to their public image.

      @@blahorgaslisk7763 Well, maybe it gets stronger with age. He admitted that as some was still wet in the middle of one of the samples. Even so, it is pretty strong. Also over time it will continue to cure. Now it also might be more flexible over time or remove squeaks in flooring applications. Also it might expand and contract with the materials better as not super rigid and thus work better overall. Not everything that needs to be strong needs to be made of metal let alone diamonds! Still I could see where you would want something stronger plus the marine stuff was interesting!

    In tests where the wood failed, the max strength numbers are invalid since that's just the maximum holding force of the wood not the adhesive. You wont be able to make valid comparisons when evaluating the cost per strength.
