TitebondFranklin International 5005 II Premium Wood Glue, 1 Gal

This is the best way to buy this glue! I do a lot of wood work as a hobby and this product is fantastic! Best to buy it in this size as it’s more cost effective

Great glue. Fast delivery! Great product Thank you!

Been using this and some of their other types for over a decade. tried other brands and they've been hit and miss. Titebond is just reliable.

So, story time.When i was in first grade, my art teacher had a broken pump of elmers glue. We were being careful with it, but we were a bunch of 6 year-olds not knowing yet how to compensate. So i go to use the pump for glue and the glue toppled over, the glue splashed on me on to my skirtTeacher took me to the bathroom to try and wash it out. We thought we got it all.We did not get it allFor months after, the space where the glue had soaked in was super stiff but maliable. This is after months of washing and so on.So, when i got into historical sewing and history bounding, and everyone discussing how "this method to stiffen fabric works well but never wash it because the glue will wash out" or "that method to stiffen fabric works well, but once it gets wet, all your hardwork is for naught" i started looking for corners to cut.Im not looking for historical accuracy. I look for historical functionality. They used glue to stiffen fabric for interlining... i can use glue for interlining. We can use PVA glue. Dilute with water brush it on the same as they did when making paste buckram. The water reduces the amount of glue that saturates the fibers so its not rock hard, so when it dries, its still moldable. Cotton Canvas instead of linen canvas because of price.Repeated washing removes excess glue, but the stuff remaining in the fibers keeps the stiffness. So if youre using this for 16thC bodies or 17th and 18thC stays, you won't have to look far for ways to cut corners.Canvas is cheap, and a gallon of this SPECIFICALLY will go along way.I wanted 2 because i was told by a customer that, undiluted, the globs they'd gotten on their hoodies working have been washed for years, and the places where it soaked in are still hard. I didnt want it to wash out easy. And i figured 1 would be too weak, and 3 would be too strong.A friend of mine even suggested i get 3 because its virtually waterproof, thinking i was going to use it for wood working. So, i am confident in my choice.I'm looking for the right ratios at the moment so i dont have any pictures. But ill be buying this again when the need arises

My husband won’t use anything but Titebond 2 when he’s making things in his wood shop. He makes a lot of toys for great grandchildren and the toys LAST.
