TiteBond is really strong!


This is an off cut of a curly maple back. The plates were glued together with Titebond & look how strong it is! When it finally broke it was the wood that split about 2mm from the joint. Amazing! This stuff is good for non resiny wood but with Cocobolo its a no no & rosewood has to be cleaned with acetone before hand.
A bit dull to some maybe but I wouldn't like a back to fall off!
