   Elerms Carpenter's glue

   http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/Materials/MaterialsPDF.aspx?id=28897

   Not the best in all situations (hide, epoxy, poly, and urea still have advantages ) but I like Elmer's Carpenter's glue a lot:

   cheep

   lasts a long time on the shelf ( my Dad had some on his shelf for many years; I did some failure tests with it and it was still very strong/tore out wood or broke else where rather than fail at glue line. )

   glues exotics

   decent open time

   I've use a lot of them.  I generally use titebond II unless its a large glue up and then I use titebond extend for that extra open time.

   Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
   If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
   And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

   Yellow PVA glue - whatever is on sale.  I like the Titebond brand.  I'm currently using Titebond III as I had a buy 1 get 1 free deal.

   By the way I bought several extended open time white and yellow glues and found none of them to be worth a darn. Some set up faster than the Elmers. Just hype as far as I could tell. That is partly what led me to use Gorilla. The open time is great. Down side is limited shelf life. Don't get me started on my sad tail.

   Yah. My old room mate was a marathon runner and rode his bike to work. Cross country skied on the weekends. Burned lots of calleries ! I was working concrete and riding and running but less than ten milers.One day he sat me down and said " we got to talk ! do you realize how much you eat ? ! ? This fifty fifty split on the food costs isn't working out !"He called me a "chow houn". We try to keep quiet about the tail. : )rocGive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. Abraham Lincoln ( 54° shaves )

   Hey, Bob, we're trying to keep the tail thing on the down low.

   Now, he might have a sad tale ...

   >sad tail<Oh thanks ! Thats nice of ya. Well in this particular instance I'm OK. It's just my heavy duty, water cooled, spell checker over heated and seized.I warned ya'll bought that. So the tail isn't sad though it might be a sad sight to behold. It is true the tale was sad but I am over it. Best to move on. So much wood; so little time.Thanks for the concern and support.rocGive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. Abraham Lincoln ( 54° shaves )

   Roc,
   you must have a hell of a spell-checker if you expect it to tell you when you use the wrong word even though that word is spelled correctly.

   >you must have a hell of a spell-checker if you expect it to tell you when you use the wrong word even though that word is spelled correctly.<Oh yah . . . it's a dooozy.Here is a bit of a past thread that tells about it:[ Angel or angle ? See now I warned you people about this. I meant angle but my water cooled spell checker started to over heat and go bing so it couldn't read my mind as well any more and that is the only hope it has in trying to figure out what the heck I was attempting to put into words. The original letters typed only lead it down a path that usually ends with the computer screen spelling out "Kill me ! Please !" over and over and then it locks up.No the mind reading thing is the best way. The down side is the heat generated. Not so sure how it all works. It was a gift from Steve Jobs. One of his brilliant but less than marketable creations. They just could not find enough terrible spellers to test it so figured there was not a market since regular spell checkers work just fine for normal people. ]So yah it is great when it works but like all heavy duty tools used in an extra heavy duty environment, day in and day out, something is bound to let go. And then things get ugly real fast : )rocGive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. Abraham Lincoln ( 54° shaves )

   Um, is that "lead" or led. And if you did any programming you'd know you can't have a closing bracket "]" without an opening one.
