Titebond II
I would like to add my two cents.
Last spring I used Luan to make hatch doors for my boat. Biscuits were used and the panel boards were washed with acetone and glued with Titebond ll and pipe clamps. The doors were coated with Behr Tung oil finish fortified with UVI. Several coat were applied inside my garage. They were my pride and joy. Then in mid August the panels were showing signs of separations. Part lines began to be very visible. I then replaced the new hatch doors with the old one made with Teak plywood.. I do not know what happened. Maybe the Luan is not compatible with Titebond ll. Now that I learned my lesson I'll go back to using epoxy on my boat.

I have projects like bird houses that have survived outdoors, but I would never use it on my boat. That is what Epoxy is for, IMHO. If the interior job involves continuous load, original Titebond is less prone to creep than Titebond II. Rodney Myrvaagnes Opionated old geezer Faith-based economics: It's deja voodoo all over again |
