Polyurethane glue is one of the strongest and most durable types of wood glue. It is very versatile as it can be used for a lot of different materials like wood, plastic, stone, metal, ceramic, foam, glass, and concrete. Gorilla Wood Glue is one of the most popular polyurethane-based glue products available.

Gorilla glue will adhere to more substances but Titebond III gives a better wood to wood bond. It’s easier to work with especially on wood to wood gluing. If you’re simply filling a gap with no strength required, use Gorilla Glue.

Dozens of glues claim to work well on wood and a variety of other materials. But regular wood glue is the best wood glue for raw wood-to-wood joinery. Also sometimes called carpenter’s glue, wood glue is formulated to penetrate wood fibers, making glue joints that are stronger than the wood itself.

If you’re looking for an incredibly strong wood to wood bond then epoxy glue is definitely worth considering. The two-part formula creates a heavy duty bond that is also renowned for being an excellent gap filler when dealing with soft and hardwoods.

Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue is the most common type of wood glue. This type includes typical white and yellow glues, or what are commonly called “carpenter’s glue.” Iit can be used for many – but not all – projects. Hide glue is made from animal products.

Dry Time. One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when choosing the best wood glue is how long it will take to dry. PVA glue invariably takes a very long time to dry, while CA glue can adhere on contact.

The stated shelf life of wood glue typically is one to two years. However, the expected shelf life of many glues typically stretches well past those few years. For example, store a bottle of white or yellow wood glue (polyvinyl acetate, or PVA glue) in optimum conditions, and it can last 10 years or longer.

Gorilla Wood Glue, a PVA glue, offers the benefits of an easy-to use, water-based adhesive, with Gorilla strength. This PVA glue is incredibly water resistant and dries a natural color that offers an invisible bond line for your projects.

As we’ve said, liquid nails are formulated for construction. So, naturally, it has stronger bonding properties than wood glue. As long as you follow the application instructions properly especially the drying time, you’ll get unbeatable bonding results.
