Just a small rant

If you find it in a half-gallon bottle, know this: The stuff becomes old and useless, after a while. Good for nothing but holding down the foot pedal on my dust collector.

I purchase titebond by the gallon and use it mostly over the year. When I first open it and fill my glue bottle it then leaves an airspace above it which will allow it to thicken over time.

Solution:
Get some small soda bottles. Divide what’s left of the gallon between them. Fill them right to the very top. That way you only have a small bottle opened at one time and often use it before it can thicken. It works for me. I read about this someplace and it solved my problem.

Here in Maine I could get it in small bottles when I want, but it’s so much less expensive by the gallon.

Also, I was wondering? Is Amazon Prime available up there in the nether regions? If is was then stuff should be available and deliverable at low cost. I doubt if the 2 day thing would be available though.

I used Titebond extend a couple times, and really didn’t like it. Too runny and it just makes a mess.

I went back to TBII for most all applications.

I haven’t use it before so maybe is good that I couldn’t find it. My go to glue of the last 50 years is Elmer’s yellow carpenter glue for most stuff.

Been here 47 years. Believe me it’s not at all like it was 35 years ago( wish it was in many ways). I have some family in Calif. If it wasn’t for that I’d never step foot there again.

Disclaimer: Might be tempted to show my face in Anaheim if they got the woodworking show back. And who knows might have to deliver some Muktuk someday.

I Used go to the AWFS Fair in Anaheim every year it was there. The show alternated between Anaheim and Atalanta every other year. The short story I get is the Unions (especially the IEBW) in calif became so asinine with their demands they just up an move it to Las Vegas.

I had the same experience with the extend as pintodeluxe. I was not impressed with it and have gone back to TBII and III. I used to use Elmer’s but it got hard to find for awhile and TB original was available so I switched.

I bought the extend, used it once, and shelved it for same reason. I am thinking to combine it with TII and see what happens. Sorry, a little off topic.

I liked Elmers for a long time but they have been changing the formula to be more like TB2 and I had problems with the last bottle. I contacted the company and got no reply which really turned me off.

I lived in Anchorage in the 80’s -early 90’s, military and traveled all over the state. Climbed mountains and glaciers, camped on the Yukon river, slept in snow, caught reds, silvers, kings, steelhead, rock bass, cod, almost got kissed by a prankster seal, got the sheet scared out of me by a pod of killer whales, snowmobiled frozen rivers, got drunk and skinny dipped in hot springs, and still didn’t see the whole state. People can’t imagine the size of it. I got sick of the snow but part of me wishes I had stayed.

yeah ive been their 3 times,once in a motor home when i was a kid,once we flew into a wilderness lodge and fished for salmon,and once on a cruise ship.anyway you go it’s a beautiful experience and id say put getting there on your bucket list.but i dont want to live there year round,i like the socal weather too much.

I’ve only been there on a cruise. We did see Skagway and Juneau and took a helicopter up to the top of the glacier…and went to see all the salmon bunched up by a fish hatchery. We were in anchorage and Faribanks but I really wanted to go to Dawson and the Aleutian Islands but that was not on the tour.

I standardized on Titebond III because it is waterproof and it works for everything I do. I have never seen or used Extend. What is it’s advantage over other glues? We had the Titebond rep put on a coule seminars for our Guild and he say that if your Titebond gets thick, add a little water and shake or stir it up until you get the consistency like when it is new and it is just as strong.
