Since I know there are a wide variety of wood glue applications and uses, I did my best to include a range of glue types, so regardless of your situation, you should find a glue that fits your needs. I made sure to only include options that I’ve used personally over the years, and brands that have proven themselves to be high-quality. How We SelectedĪs a former residential and commercial carpenter, I've used nearly every type of wood glue there is, and kept this experience in mind when selecting the options for this list. Liquid Nails Polyurethane construction adhesive: mixture of polyurethane, limestone, quartz Excellent for filling spaces between surfaces Common brands: Liquid Nails Reactive adhesives bond through a chemical reaction often used. Make sure to carefully read the instructions before purchasing to ensure that you fully understand the complete drying process of the glue. Liquid Nails Heavy duty construction adhesive: mixture of acrylic adhesive, PVA, limestone, clay e.g. This is especially true for unique workpieces that cannot be easily clamped, and would need a fast-drying solution. While some options have relatively short drying times, others can take up to 24 hours to fully cure, which might not be convenient or practical for your project. You should also take drying time into account when selecting a wood glue. If you’ll be sanding and staining the wood after gluing, make sure that the glue is designed for that use, otherwise you may end up with a discolored final product. The final look and appearance of your workpiece is another factor to keep in mind.
You could always squeeze it onto another surface and use a toothpick or something similar to spread it in place, but that can get messy quickly. If you’re tackling precision jobs or fine furniture repair, you probably want an applicator that has a fine tip and a bottle that's easy to hold in your hand as you use it.
