Question on Titebond lll and walnut
Barry Irby
Watching a video on make an Epoxy resin table, the guy comments that he has been led to believe Titebond III is not the best for walnut. That Titebond Original is better. And people gluing up cutting boards with III are experiencing failures.
I generally use Original but have used II and III, most recently when I glued up a aromatic cedar window sill. Also use III when I need the longer open time.
Anyone have any information on this?

Out here in the high (and dry) desert glue hardens quickly. TBIII gives us a little more time, so I use it a lot.
I've glued up a ton of walnut with TBIII -tables, chairs, desks, laminations , you name it, and never had a problem.
On the other hand, plain old TB works fine, too.
I wouldn't worry about it either way where you are.

I've used Titebond II dark wood glue when I glue up walnut - that way the glue "harmonized" w/ the wood and nothing stood out.
The squeezeout blends right in
Blend in?

You guys don't remove squeeze out? What is there to blend in? A glue line should be invisible for everything except for maybe epoxy.
