ive always used original Titebond. Haven't had one come loose yet.
I've been using Titebond 'Extend' for my assembly work. More open time and I ain't gonna try to work something I glued till the next work session, anyway. I have no idea whether there is a noticeable improvement in joint strength compared to regular Titebond, but it won't hurt and maybe there's more joint security with Extend.John Parchem wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2026 3:37 pm Both are good glues. Leave the fish glue clamped overnight. The titebond can be clamed for a shorter time but still needs a day to fully cure. Fish glue is both messy and easy to clean up with a damp rag. Torrified wood is slow to absorb moisture, titebond can dry before it bonds. Fish glue has more time. I used titebond with a torrified top but wiped it with a damp rag first. I had no issues.
