: I've used Elmer's carpenters glue and have a few old strippers with no
: problems. Tightbond is good too.

: Tightbnd 1 has the least creep - harder, more brittle glue. Musical
: instrument makers choice.
: Tightbond II they introduced a more flexible formula. Best all around general
: woodworkers choice.
: Tightbond III is supposedly waterproof.

I used Titebond III for my Spring Run and got fine results (IMHO). I wiped off the squeeze out with a wet rag as I stripped and once scraped and sanded, had no stain or any trace of the squeeze out. Worked fine for me but then, I'm still a newbie at building strip boats.....

: The only problem with the waterproof one is if you like to sponge off your
: squeezed glue and it dries.
: Most builders don't do that because you can contaminate the wood. Best to
: scrape off the dried glue. Plus you can't wash off your tools once dry.
: The waterproof one doesn't flow as easily for my taste.

: Any of them will work perfectly for strip building.

: Polyurethane glue is expensive and hard to clean up.
