so chevyaudio was right....

well ive always used liquid nails for as long as ive been building boxes (save the last 2 that ive built which i decided, hell might as well give woodglue a shot).

and my stance has always been:

"liquid nails works fine. the joints hold together strong enough that i cant break them by hand" which was true. now ive never kept a box for that long so no joint wear has taken place. i always made new ones.

my friend who recently bought to 18's bl's had a 15" xxx in a box i built a good 2 years ago. the liquid nails worked fine...or so we thought. he took the screws out of the box joints...and the **** wall fell off. not just 1...but 3 of them. no pressure, no pushing, they just fell off.

never again will i claim liquid nails is a fine product to use for building subwoofer enclosures. if your going to keep your box for a very short time...sure...but if you want it to last dont use that shit. my experiences never showed me this which is why i stood by liquid nails and its uses. no more. my apologies to chevyaudio for disregarding his advice and defending my own (although i built these last two boxes using woodglue on account of his suggestion, just to try something new, before this whole xxx box experience)

lol

^^^f'd up man

we use our experiences to build our ideas and what we feel is true...liquid nails always worked fine since my enclosures were always switched out and rebuilt, but once i saw what happens to the average person that will keep an enclosure for a long time...my new experience showed me the downfalls of what i used to do.

i've always used titebond 3. no problems here.

 

[IgnoreMe 5,000+ posts]

quick question...which sets up faster

regular titebond, II, or III?

not to mention i love how you can wash woodglue off. liquid nails in like dinosaur jizz thats dried in your jeans cause you rubbed up against a seam on the box

not sure, haven't tried the others. i believe 3 is supposed to be the strongest once it's dry, it recommends leaving it clamped for an hour.
