>I Use Titebond 2.Make sure the mating surfaces are flat.Apply the glue to both pieces and either clamp or stack some weight on top.I have started turning items in as little as and hour after the glue up.Have'nt had one let go yet.

But I would'nt do this on chuncks of wood that are wet or too badly out of balance.

I was thinking about gorilla glue. I am a bit leary of the CA...I may have some little bit of reaction to it.

>Don, Carl,

What's the difference between Gorrila Glue and Titebond II?

If there's a difference, is Titebond II a stronger glue?

>I have an old electric fry pan that I melt Hotmelt glue sticks in. When the glue is melted and clear I just dip the waste block in til the face of the block is covered, then press on the bowl blank.

Good to go in a couple of minutes

>In my opinion the two glues are completely different and have different uses. I'll let someone else explain the major differences, but I don't like the limitations of Gorilla Glue, I don't like the mess and in some applications it is not as strong as Tightbond. If you do your glue up properly with Tightbond you don't have to worry abput losing a bowl. The wood will break first.
