Wood Glue Strength Test - Titebond III vs Titebond Original vs Gorilla Glue.
I wanted to do this test for a very long time. I've been using Titebond for a very long time end never thought to use anything else. But Titebond glues are quite expensive here in Europe and Gorilla glue is a little bit cheaper. So I decided to give it a go.
Check out my video so see the results of my test.

Would the results be much different if you'd let the glue fully cure? Or month or two should be enough.

If you like your hands, tool handles and work to look like a dirty, old gorilla, than that's your glue. I should point out that two inch pine is not typically kiln dried and so any water-proof glue should perform better than a water soluble adhesive. Besides, glue strength is vastly over rated since projects rarely fail on any properly made glue joint. Glue joints will positively fail however for folks who make a habit of gluing end-grain butt joints. No amount of monkey glue can prevent it.

I have been using Titebond for many years, original, type two and type three with no issues but I ran out one day and could only get Gorilla. I was so impressed with the preformance that I have been using it exclusively ever since. I find it easier to spread, easier to clean up and the strength is superb. Their polyurethane glue is also brilliant for outdoor use but needs to be spread thinly as it foams and is not as easy to clean up, but super strong.

As much as I like polyurethane glue - I think it does not cause any swelling of the wood fibres which can be a bit problematic with the dominos/biscuits. It's major strength is filling the pores in rather crappy material, while I'll be dealing with pristinely planed surfaces.

Man, I have used Gorilla glue to repair a Les Paul headstock on its third break and it did the job. No splints and no other reinforcements. I spent hundreds of dollars on having that head stock repaired "professionally" but still broke after the first two repairs. I didn't want to ditch that guitar because it plays nice and I like the tone after quite a few mods I installed Gibson pickups. So I thought I would try the Gorilla glue and am pleased I did the job myself and saved many $s.

@WatchmanDownunder Год назад

Thank you for your review. I've tried both and have found Gorilla to be far more versatile as well, I've even joined some stonework together with it, it's great BUT it's nozzle is not, it is very hard to open because the glue seems to bond to the pull mechanism. That may not be the case elsewhere than in Australia but that's how it is here. We are made to pay the highest dollar for the lowest quality for pretty much everything.

@CasualDIY Год назад

I find that to about the nozzle so now after use each time I just wipe off the nozzle from glue excess and problem solved.

Ive used all 3 and although all bond well, the gorilla glue turns brittle after a period of time. The titebond 3 seems to have more elasticty over a longer period of time. I usually leave the set time to 48 hrs and never an issue.

@CasualDIY Год назад

I don't think you will ever have any major issues with them. All of them got different properties. The T3 is waterproof with long curing time which is helpful in some cases. On the other had Gorilla glue is also waterproof but got shorter curing time. Then T1 is not waterproof but cures very fast. So you will use them in different circumstances.

Did you wet the other piece for the Gorilla Glue joint? GG needs water to cure, and causes it to foam and expand. So long as you use decent clamping force, this would force the glue into the fibres of the end grain, and might have made an even stronger joint. Should you have been using the words Tension or force rather than 'pressure'?

If a glue tests good (but is not waterproof) and you're using it outside in the elements (rain, snow, etc) it won't do you much good. Always choose the best glue for the environment in which you're using the project in.

I think Gorilla Glue would work really well on a fabric/wood joint. Certainly better than any of the PVA variants which have a chemical bond with the wood so work differently. Another glue that would work well is Canopy Glue Formula 560, that claims to stick anything to anything, but it comes in tiny 59ml bottles costing about US$8. I got on to Canopy Glue from one of the Luthier (guitar making and repair) channels. Aerosol contact adhesives would also work well, and are reasonably convenient. BTW WD40 is good for cleaning the spray nozzle after use.

Gorilla recommend their Wood Glue only for wood-to-wood, as it "won't provide a maximum bond on other surfaces", to quote the video on their website. You can see occasionally the "Gorilla Wood Glue" label in the video, but it would have been clearer if the title and the narration had explicitly referred to "Gorilla Wood Glue" rather than just "Gorilla Glue", which most people would take to be the Original.

Your results were surprising. I normally use Titebond but I have some questions. I understand that this isn't really a scientific test. However, have you considered the physics involved? Results aside, what you shown is the usefulness of levers. It seems to me that the roughly 10 inches from the joint that the torque is applied would multiply that torque by a significant amount. Have you considered that or thought of doing the math to see what the actual torque at the glue joint is? Not a burn, just a question

Gorilla foams up a bit, so it's a great choice where there are more voids between the members. You were gluing an end-grain to the face, and end grains are quite porous. I go for gorilla when doing restoration work, or any rough-sawn wood, because there will be more dings and tears making some space. If you're going face-to-face, same-direction grains, my guess is the difference between their strength shrinks. For that I like good ol' yellow carpenter's glue, because it lasts on my shelf forever.

@CasualDIY 4 года назад

If I'll pick them up on my next shopping spree I'll try to do a test

@stratoside4765 3 года назад

lol you build guitarS and you don't know which one is better?

Hi Tomasz. Enjoyed the wood glue test. I really liked your crane scale tension indicator set up. Impressed with the Gorilla glue there's quite a difference especially on the worst and laziest type of joint. Butt joint end grain avoid at all costs lol, unless you use Gorilla glue. Tony

Hehe thanks 👍😁 yes used this joint as I wasn't sure how strong the bond will be as I really didn't want to use my car to take them apart 🤣

I mix titebond, gorilla and evo together it’s really good.

Lol what a mix

I have found that 3 is to much like water 💧 Did you notice this issue? Thanks • Gary from Michigan.

No no issues like that.

Can I suggest another glue to add to the mix? 'Cascamite' is VERY strong and was advertised ad being 'stronger than the wood itself' In my experience, the joint has never failed but the wood was torn apart when a joint was (accidentally) stressed to much. Many fails over the years. A bookshelf I made had only the edge of two shelves glued to a backboard on the wall. These took the weight of a of an encyclopedia. Using blockboard! When it was pensioned off, I tried to break it up and only broke the wood apart near the joints! I am going to use it when gluing my new bench together... Thanks for the interesting and informative video. I would love to hear the results of using Cascamite on Various tough hardwoods, like Oak etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to make another test some time in the future👍

What about Titebond original vs Titebond II?

Could be a future video

Interesting Gorilla wood glue

@maxineephriam 4 года назад

Is there a reason why you didn't wet the part as stated in the Gorilla Glue instructions? I wonder if it would have been even stronger.

This is a PVA Gorilla glue not poly

@TheWoodgineer 4 года назад

Ha! Was going to make this exact same video but now I’m gonna just point people to yours when I’m trying to tell them how good gorilla glue is (in most situations). :D Titebond III is much better at resisting water and I’ve found it to be a bit thinner mix otherwise it’s gorilla glue all the way :) I can’t remember, did I give you a bottle of gorilla glue at makers central?

@CasualDIY 4 года назад

Hehe got one in be for you lol yes it seems to be very good and I wasn't convinced to it to be honest. But now I think it will be my go to glue 😁👍 No I missed a free bottle 😉 I'll be there this year👍😁

Check the other guy vid where his gorilla glue goes well over 100 Kg. Where is the mistake? I'm trying to figure it out. Let me know your opinion on this. Thanks

@CasualDIY 11 месяцев назад

Depends on many factors. Equipment used to do the test, measuring device, type of wood ( how pours it is ), moisture content, how long the glue was setting etc.

Hi Tom, Carlo Duroni, down below came up with a "fact" that I have definetly heard sometime ago, and have heard it many times since, but when I was working in the Upholstery business perhaps?, and it was definetly said, by "knowledgeable people", Foremen or Craftsmen??, that thePVA glue that was used joining the wood was stronger than the wood?, and the wood would brake before the glue?, never researched that, as I believed it!. So I am shocked to find that in your experiment the Glue broke????, OK it was they PVA, but maybe what was said about PVA is TRUE?, (go on do it again with PVA). I agree with the Italien your good to watch & hear).

@CasualDIY 4 года назад

Yes mate I think I can do few more experiments. Got the gear for it 😉and thank you 😁👍

@niklasschenck8486 4 года назад

That is true when gluing side grain together not end grain to side grain like this test .

@leoneddy1492 Год назад

Surprised at the strength of the Gorilla glue. A good test as It is testing the actual strength of the glues by using the end grain ,if another type of joint was used NOT using the end gran it would probably result in all cases that it would be the wood that gives way and then the Gorilla glue results would be more consistent with the Titebond , in all cases the only thing it would prove is that all are stronger than the wood itself.

@CasualDIY Год назад

Exactly 👍

I'm about ready to go in my corner and wonder what life is all about... In another video someone posted how the gorilla glue failed on them. Titebond is practically the number one glue used in luthier and all we have is gorilla glue. It's 50/50 at this point whether I should trust the gorilla glue or order titebond if our stores don't have any.

@Jinnuksuk 2 года назад

Okay so I've tested the gorilla glue on scrap wood I'm using and found that it is indeed a viable option (it's become a solid piece). However, I did glue the guitar headstock on the neck, but you have absolute ZERO time to clamp your pieces together!... It's ridiculous! If you are going to use gorilla glue, DO NOT TAKE YOUR TIME TO APPLY TO BOTH PIECES!!! Just apply on one piece and rush, rush, RUSH to clamp your pieces together! I purposely made my pieces very slightly curved so that the middle will exhaust the glue to try to have the wood touching together and have the glue excess more on the sides but now I have a thick slob of glue in between the wood because it started curing within 3 minutes of applying to both pieces and clamping no longer had an effect within 5 minutes. I am now scared to think about gluing the fretboard onto the neck because it is a larger surface and I will need to finish applying and clamping in under 2 minutes... I really wanted to minimize wood-glue-wood vibration transfer but that option is out the window. I guess I will confirm that gorilla glue IS reliable... You just have NO control over how much squeeze out you get from clamping unless it's a tiny project.
