Glue

I was wondering what type of glue you guys use. I personnally use Tite bond 2. My girlfriends dad keeps telling my that I should use gorilla, because they will be stronger. I have had know problem with the titebond 2, so I was wondering what everyones favorite glue for building boxes.

With all due respect, this is quite possibly the most commonly debated topic in the box forum. Use the search tool.

i use both gorilla glue seem like a stronger bond. then titebond II. but like stated above is a debate. they both work great. they sell gorilla glue in a very small container so you can give it a try and see how you like it.

After building 2 boxes, a 1 cube and a 4.4 cube, i still have 3/4 of a bottle of titebond left. plus it was like 1/2 the price of guerilla glue for twice the amount //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

No, again, it isn't a debate. It's science. Wood glue bonds the two pieces of wood CHEMICALLY, which makes it so that the wood itself will actually split before the glue joint does. In other words, when properly used, a wood joint will outlast the box itself.

Gorilla and other polyurethane glues just bond it strongly, but don't actually guarantee any real strength.

Wood glue impregnates the fibers of the wood.

Gorilla glue just bonds to the surface.

I use Tight bond II or Elmer's wood glue.
