No time wasted. Straight up information.

Those epoxy tubes that come with that joined plunger, I always just cut the plungers apart with a utility knife. It makes getting equal parts resin and hardener a whole lot easier.

Finding out that Dollar Store is called a Pound Shop in the UK made my fucking day.

Super helpful, and as always in plain language and an easy to understand presentation.

I used to work for a PVA resin manufacturer. For bonding wood, you need to ask 2 main questions: is it for use in potentially wet conditions (indoors or outdoors), and is it going to be used for joints that are likely to be under load (e.g. chair legs, where it needs to demonstrate 'creep resistance'). Then look closely at the instructions on the various brands and choose the most appropriate one. If you keep using poyurethane and epoxy glues for long enough (weeks, months) without protecting your hands, you stand a good chance of getting dermatitis, which is no joke. Finally, you can get CA glue to cure instantly in loose fitting joints by sprinkling baking soda over the wet adhesive. It sets like concrete, fills the gap and can be sanded or filed smooth soon afterwards - a model maker' trick seen in lots of KZfaq videos. I really enjoy yor channel. Please keep up the hints and techniques you've developed!

Really great video. Lots of information in a digestible way telling everyone when to use what. Might be my favorite video of yours oddly enough.

As always, brilliant content delivered simply and without faff. 👍👍

This was a good basic rundown. Thanks Keith!

Great review. I have to say, I do use hyde glue on delicate pieces because you can clean up far more easily and you don't get the staining or marking on pale woods. It's not easy to get it out of the bottle without warming it up in the North of England through the 9 or so cold months! Great video, great channel. Cheers.

FWIW, A few years ago I built some sash windows for the house I'm currently in. The joint from the sash box to the cill was done with polyurethane as I felt that would be the one most likely to collect water but all the rest were done with Titebond 3. A decade on and all the joints are as good as the day they went in so I'm happy to conclude it works for that use.

PVA works also very well for veneering, when using the iron method. In that case the glue is being reactivated by the heat. I use that all the time.

Great.thanks for the information. Delivery was great.

Thanks Keith, useful info as always.

Interesting content Keith enjoyed watching. Very useful tips mentioned to help save time and stress by making the incorrect glue choice. Tony

Excellent run down and explanation 👍

That was a LOT of very practical information. Thanks✅👍🏻

Like these videos, practical and real tips especially for DIYers

Great advice there Keith. I'm the same as you when it comes to wearing gloves mate as I find it causes a loss of grip when you have to hold something together for a while if clamps are a hinderence lol great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey hey ... hope your week is goin just right! cool to just discover your channel and be subbed. Stellar job on these vids

Excellent info, excellently presented. I shall be referring to this one on a regular basis.

You’re a class act Keith 👍

Nicely done. TY.

Thanks for your discussion

I found Everbuild 502 PVA Wood Glue to be quite good. Thick, dries quite quickly and strong. 👍

This is very interesting. I use evo stick exterior for all my needs. Though to honest i dont use a lot .

5 years for my old glue box... Added some water a while ago but it still works :)

Thank you for the video ❤️

Any decent hand-wipe will get PU off your hands (and tools) at the end of the glue-up. I keep a small water spray handy for use with PU. Glue on one part, quick spray (and wipe off the excess) on the other, makes it cure real good.

PVA glue is my most beloved glue very good for laying laminate flooring and assembling flatpack furniture.

Thank you. Very informative and candid review of available glues for DIY and woodwork/ My dad had a cast iron bain-marie back in the day when I was a kid. ( I still have it somewhere)To Mother's chagrin he would put it on the gas in the kitchen to heat up his 'bead 'glue' and fill the kitchen with its awful stink. If I am correct this was the hide glue obtained from animal hides/bones. It was sold by the pound as little yellow beads at good ironmongers.

Used a combination of PVA and super glue in mitres etc many times. The super glue holds the joint while the PVA dries.

Great video it helped a lot thank you for the information

Hot glue, aka hot snot, is pretty damn strong. The main issue is applying it right at melting but not hot enough to heat the material for best surface spread and adhesion. I have a glue gun that runs a bit hot. It will drool slightly bubbly hot glue over time and that's when I know it's hot enough. I fixed my over-the-range microwave with hot glue. The left side snapped internally and now there's 1 huge glue stick globbed on everything relevant in there holding it up. Been good for 2 years now.

Don't buy superglue activator;. Dissolve some bicarbonate of soda in water; it works just as well.

I think the “yellow” & “white” PVA glue comment is misleading and is limited to the anglosphere and tends to be an assumption based on Titebond products. In mainland Europe Soudal is a very popular Woodworking and construction adhesive supplier. They have different PVA glues including the Water Resistant PVA. None of it is yellow.

Never used resin yet although I have a kit to play with. One thing I've found ca glue and hot glue is for filling live edge voids never heard of the last one to be fair though I use Wickes wood glue and for anything can't use that for tube of multi stick never let me down yet it really will stick anything to anything. Great explanations though kieth can't wait for next build video. Hope your good and busy enough. On a note kieth with regards to pricing what kinda price point would u put on serving/chopping boards for this country obviously you'll know people don't wanna pay what they should 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Great vid ! One day ... give polyurethane construction adhesive a go, especially in cold and/or exterior conditions.

Good info !👍super glue - and by hand baking soda)

Really excellent tips, Keith! Thanks! 😃 A tip about CA glue... I learned to use baking soda, but any fine dust is going to work. (PVC dust works specially well.) Basically you put the CA glue and put the dust over it. It's going to harden like a concrete! I use it a lot to fix or modify rc cars and stuff like that. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

well done. good video.

This is really informative, thank you. I am new to DIY and have a question for you. I want to attach thin strips of oak to my walls to give a barn conversion effect, but I don't know which glue to use and, more importantly, how to keep them in place while they dry (I can't stand holding them all each time, ha!). Also, will it matter if the surface is an old / hard wallpaper, old paint, new paint or plaster? Do you have any recommendations and suggestions? Thanks 🙂 PS - I originally thought of using rawlplugs, but I think glue is probably a better idea

Cascamite for outdoor use comes in powder form that you mix with a little water but you have to keep it clamped for 24hrs

I always use waterproof pva for interior uses, polyurethane for exterior, superglue & activator for interior mitres before i fire a pin in just to temp hold. And like you, hot glue for temporary holds on things like router pattern templates etc. With the hot glue, you can spray a bit of isopropyl alcohol on after its cured, to remove it. It just peels straight off after a quick spritz of ipa 😎

thanks

Good video 👍👏

Superglue activator is water. That is why it does not work on wet surfaces. To slightly damp surfaces it sticks immediately but is not as strong as being hardened slowly by moisture in the wood or air.

I buy West System epoxy in 4 litre can and appropriately sized hardener with pumps that allow for simple and accurate mixing. Epoxy will to harden over time, but few understand that like liquid honey, all you have to do is put it in a hot water bath and it will re-liquify and can be used as usual with no harm to strength.

thanks Keith, good informative vid 👊🙏 i use gorilla glue wood PVA does indoor & outdoor, but only as I got a deal on it recently working out to be a bit cheaper than titebond equivalent, though most places it actually works out to be more expensive

I've always heard that a spray of water can be as an activator for CA glue

Thanks for the info …. I’ve been using cheap pva ie 5 liters for £ 12 but now I’m not so sure … ?

I got poly glue in my hair and down my neck once. Oh the fun.😂 My go to glues are always titebond 2 and 3.

Im a sundeck builder. Do you have a recommendation for gluing Trex decking and similar materials. We haven't tried expoxy because it hasn't been a big deal breaker if you get a gap in a miter on a deck outside. That being said I would like to find a glue for making and keeping tight joints. We also use the standard PVC trim boards. Thay can generally be glued with a vinyl adhesive or standard PVC glue.The real winner would be to find a glue for different brand of decking. Problem here is theya ll mak it slightly different

Hi Let say I wish to glue wall hooks outdoor to hang house lights. Should I use Polyurethane Glue? Tough agaisnt weather cycles such as rain and sun.

What's the best for a coffee table

Hi, Ive got to do a staircase soon, what type of glue would you recommend? I’ve seen some guys use that stuff that foams up (pu, I think) and others pva. Cheers bro

Would you recommend using PVA Glue in fixing the guitar bridge than other wood Glue? was the bridge holding well?

hello, can you use wood glue on mdf?

is there any non-toxic, durable, and water resistant that is plant-friendly (i’m looking for glues that is safe for orchids as i’m pitching to make orchid mounts from charcoals and wood chips)

If you wipe your hands wile still wet with big wipes it removes the glue so they don’t go black there the only wipes I’ve found that work

Which pound shop do you buy epoxy from? I've had no luck in my local Poundland

I use a lot for polyurethane glue and the way to clean for me is paint thinner

Wet PU glue wipes off with isopropyl alcohol and what happened to cascamite?

Which glue is best wood worm

I thought titebond original (the red label stuff) was aliphatic resin, where as TB2 is pva…. Is that not the case?

Used to use cascamite ,it comes in powder form, strong as hell

I find out of the yellow glues Elmers carpenter wood glue Max is stronger versus any titlebond yellow glue.

How to product it

A waterproof wood glue that was very popular in boat building a few years ago and I believe is still very good for exterior applications is Cascamite. Have you given that a go Keith and if so how do you rate it?

Rubbing alcohol will dissolve the bond of hot glue and not leave any residue like reheating does. Works a treat!

WD-40 is decent at getting polyurethane glue off hands in my experience :)

Great

I still use white Elmers.

Strange that you had never used Neoprene glue aka impact , contact or cement glue 🤔 Very useful for laminated sheet.

With super glue, the activator is not only for speed, but strength too. The faster super glue cures the harder it ends up. I used to know a guy in the military that worked on attack helicopters, and he used to use super glue mixed with bicarbonate of soda to fill holes and dents that weren't too deep. It makes the glue go off almost immediately and in doing so it goes solid as a rock. Activator does a similar thing. So it isn't just speed, but the speed makes it stronger.

Mustard glue bottles for the win!!!

Call me a purist, but I still love hot hide glue. Although if I’m going to use PVA, I like titebond 3 and Elmer’s carpenters wood max.

Instead of hide glue, use fish glue. Same good effect except u don't need all the heat up faff

When I did A level DT, I had a go at veneering with scotch glue, which I think is the same (or at least very similar) to hot hide glue. you boil the stuff up in a pan, spread it on and then can iron on your veneer. It stinks! I don't think I'd ever be tempted to use it again, as you can use exactly the same technique with white pva. But with PVA you don't have to boil it first, and don't get the smell of boiled animal bits 🤮

“Which wood glue is the best”….then you refuse to commit yourself to saying which is your best 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi which gule use laminate and plywoods

I had a bottle of Gorilla polyurethane I had not opened. One year later it had gone totally solid. Waste of money for occasional use.

If you want to try the CA glue activator, I'll happily buy you can. I can do a click and collect to your local toolstation for you to pick up, just let me know where your local branch is

I generally use Evo-Stik Resin W in the blue bottle (exterior PVA), or polyurethane, which I'm careful to keep off my skin and use in well-ventilated spaces. Regarding this video, I wouldn't have used PVA for the guitar bridge, because it'll be under tension and PVA is prone to creep. For permanent gluing where creep must be avoided, I've used Cascamite, urea-formaldehyde powder to which water is added to make a paste. I think they may have changed the formula though, to make it safer and woke.

Try wd40 for getting pu glue off

👍👍👍

Ah, I do am mr skanky hands well. Earned the nickname for other reasons though. Only fond memories of my dad and I behind the local 7/11

Keith , your thumbnail looks like a game of soggy biscuit ! 😆

What, no Cascamite? Wallybois will be disappointed lol

The white and yellow PVA isn't a reliable way to divide glue types and not all yellow pva glues are the same as are white glues. Much better to go off of the ratings of D1, D2, D3 and D4. Most of the time people will be using D3 and D4 in construction and building

Mr. Skanky hands!! 🤣🤣🤣

NOOICE!"

Vaseline on hands before using glue makes most glues easy to clean from your hands

I have found that the quality of CA glue is all over the place. The stuff sold as mitre bond is in my view just crap. The medium thickness stuff in the tiny tubes is best in my view, ( i think that is mostly all the same stuff and better quality than even the big bottles of the named brands ) large ones always go to waste around here . I once had a bottle i got from a little craft shop , it was very strange as it had a batch number and a code for the type of CA glue it was along with the address of the shop . A custom order ? That stuff was amazing! God himself could not break the bonds that stuff made, even relatively smooth plastic to plastic the bond was stronger than the plastic.

You've obviously never heard of Cascamite.

IPA removes polyurethane glue

All those rhymes in the start! Lol Here in the states white glue is called "school glue" weak and our kids use it to glue paper products. Our wood glues are yellow or possibly a brown or tan color. PVC glue as you call it used to really only come from Gorilla Glue brand but now comes in several brands. Commonly still called Gorilla Glue though like we call factual tissue "Kleenex" even though that's simply the most widely known brand name.....

To ensure your choice of glue is fresh, have your wife taste it, if she returns a smile the glue is bad, if she gives you an bad face then the glue is fresh!

There's a huge difference between the cheap and high end stuff when it comes to epoxy. You can get unbelievably strong glue joints if you use the good stuff when it comes to epoxy. But please note that the more specialized epoxy you use, the more picky it gets that you follow instructions for mixing, preparing surfaces and curing time/temperatures. And the more amazing results you will get, good epoxy joints can rival welded joints in strength.

Gorilla glue is rubbish
