Moisture-resistant wood glue titebond Titebond II Premium - application, characteristics, instructions

Varieties

This adhesive composition has several varieties, each of which has its own characteristics and properties:

• Titebond 2 is the most moisture-resistant and strong type of glue in this line; it cannot be removed even with a solvent. When frozen, it can come into contact with food and will not cause any damage to health (when used in kitchen furniture and household appliances).
• Titebond 3 – has relatively low strength and can also come into contact with food without causing harm.

• Original Titebond is a special type, practically no different from the previous ones in composition and application. Its main advantage is the ability to be used for repairing musical instruments, since it does not spoil the sound of wooden products.
• Titebond Heavy Duty is an ultra-strong construction adhesive that can withstand metal objects, brick, and fiberglass. You can also highlight its resistance to moisture.

Types of glue

There are more than 25 types of titebond wood glue, but one-component products for universal use with water-repellent properties are more common. The declared properties will manifest themselves in full if the working surface is carefully prepared and the instructions for the composition are followed. After such work, the water-repellent properties of the seam are guaranteed.

Kinds:

• Titebond Heavy Duty is an ultra-strong adhesive in a yellow tube, capable of firmly connecting concrete, brick, and ceramic substrates. It is made on the basis of synthetic rubber, which provides high adhesion. The resulting seam is flexible, which prevents it from breaking under vibration loads.

It is permissible to work with damp, frozen wood.

• Titebond liquid nails are widely used in construction for professional use. Work with the product is carried out inside and outside the building.
• Titebond III wood glue comes in green packaging. The mass has special strength and water resistance. It is acceptable to use for gluing objects in contact with food, since the composition does not contain toxic compounds. Gluing can be done using hot or cold methods. Polymerization occurs 20 minutes after connecting the elements.
• Titebond II Premium has a blue container, one-component composition. It is resistant to moisture and sets quickly. Most often used when connecting parts of furniture. The composition contains no toxic compounds.

Glue characteristics

Despite the possibility of professional use, the products in the series do not require special skills or knowledge during application

They are easy to use; you just need to read the instructions carefully. A regular tool, including a metal one, is suitable for the job; the glue does not stick to the metal, and all devices can be easily cleaned

The main property that distinguishes Titebond adhesives from PVA and liquid nails is their high moisture resistance, which meets American standards.

Other properties and technical parameters of Titebond adhesives:

1. All adhesives become transparent after hardening, despite the initial dullness of the consistency. They can be applied even to delicate items.
2. The products are frost-resistant; after drying, the seam will withstand temperatures down to -35 degrees. Also, glued bases can be heated to +40 degrees, but at +100 the seam area can catch fire.
3. The strength of the glue joint will be very high, much higher than the wood itself. This determines the durability of the glued products. The seam is resistant not only to water, but also to the influence of solvents and acoustic vibrations.

1. Adhesives are universal, they are suitable for all types of wood, as well as other wood-based compounds, combined materials, and many types of plastic. You can also effectively fasten paper and cardboard with these products. Elastic compounds are suitable for use as sealants.
2. All errors in work - stains, drips - can be washed off with water before complete hardening. This is very convenient for adjusting the adhesive seam.
3. Polymerization of the composition is quick (10-20 minutes), but still not instantaneous, and it is quite possible to correct the position of the parts. As humidity increases and temperature decreases, polymerization may slow down. You cannot work with the composition at temperatures below +10-12 degrees.
4. There is no need to subject the parts to strong compression or installation under a press. They will stick together even with a moderate degree of fixation, adhesion will not decrease.

The most popular adhesives of the Titebond brand have a dry residue of 48%, their viscosity is 4000 mPa/s, and their acidity is 3 pH. Material consumption is 180 g/sq.m. see. After opening, each product remains suitable for use for a long time (up to 2 years) if stored at a temperature of about +20 degrees. It is not advisable to apply the composition to painted substrates; use it in rooms with too high humidity or poor ventilation.

Main advantages

Titebond is a super-strong glue that adheres to surfaces almost instantly (10-20 minutes). When gluing parts, pressing is only necessary for a short period of time. In this case, serious compression or placement under the press is not required - fixation with medium effort is sufficient.

Instructions for use

You can start working with the product only at positive temperatures indoors or outside buildings. For all types of adhesive compositions, preliminary surface preparation is very important: in the presence of dust, sawdust, and other contaminants, the degree of adhesion may decrease. In addition to such contaminants, grease, oil stains, and old paint should also be removed. For this purpose, the following methods are used:

• grinding with a special machine, sandpaper;
• using a scraper;
• washing with household or professional detergents;
• wiping with degreasers and solvents.

Work only in a well-ventilated area. Due to the environmental friendliness of the composition, it is possible not to use special respiratory protection, but for allergy sufferers, people with hypersensitivity and lung diseases, masks (respirators) are required. If you feel dizzy, you should immediately leave work and go out into the fresh air. If glue gets on the skin, it must be washed thoroughly with soap, otherwise there is a risk of irritation and redness. When the product gets into the eyes, rinse them well (at least 10 minutes), and if necessary, consult a doctor.

Titebond glue is one of the highest quality and convenient products that do not need to be diluted, but can be used in finished form. It has the highest moisture resistance among similar compounds and is economical, which is why it is most often used by professionals.

How to use it correctly

Working with Titebond glue does not require special skills or knowledge. When using it, the main thing is to strictly follow the instructions. Work should be carried out only at positive temperatures.

How to remove?

Since liquid nails are a difficult glue, the impurities in the composition make it very difficult to remove from almost any surface.

If the liquid nails have not yet dried, then this composition can be removed quite easily with a rag and water - this applies to hard objects. If these are clothes or upholstered furniture, then you need to resort to using a solvent. If the glue has already hardened, it will be much more difficult to do this. In most cases, the packaging of high-quality glue contains instructions for removing this composition. If there is no such instruction, then you can resort to the following tips.

To remove the glue, you need to prepare the following items:

• water with solvent;
• liquid nail cleaners, which will be needed for the final removal of residues, are sold in special construction stores;
• latex gloves;
• scraper, knife or flat screwdriver;
• a piece of fishing line or wire.

When all the components are ready, you should start cleaning:

• first you need to slightly lift the piece of dried glue with a scraper or other flat object;
• then you need to insert a wire or fishing line under this piece;
• after this, with the wire inserted, you need to remove the main part of the glue using cutting movements;
• Remaining stains can simply be removed with water or a special cleaner.

Liquid nail gun

Liquid nails are usually packaged in special tubes. To make working with them easier, a liquid nail gun is designed. It consists of the following parts:

• holding device;
• trigger mechanism;
• a disk that applies pressure to the inside of the tube;
• stock;
• a tongue that acts as a latch.

To work with the gun, you need to prepare a tube of liquid nails directly. To do this, it is opened and the tip is screwed on. In order to insert the tube into the gun, remove the tongue from the locking position and pull the rod towards you until it stops. Then we place the tube in the gun, and move the rod away from us until the disc fully stops. It should rest against the squeezing mechanism in the tube. Then, by pressing the trigger, we set in motion the squeezing mechanism in the tube. Due to this, the glue comes out of the tube.

In order to stop the flow of glue, you need to release the locking tab and pull the rod towards you.

Main characteristics

Liquid nails at the moment of installation are quite strong and reliable glue. It is several times stronger than other species. It prevents oxidation of the material, thereby eliminating corrosion and the appearance of fungus.

Types of liquid nails

Depending on the area of ​​application and composition, liquid nails are divided into the following types:

• Liquid nails containing a water base. In other words - glue on acrylic. They are usually used in low humidity conditions. Cannot be used at low temperatures. Designed for fastening objects that have a porous structure. Very often used for tiles, PVC, mirrors. These include super-strong adhesive MVP-70, which is a durable material that is designed for gluing a wide range of materials. MVP-70 contains polyacrylate. It contains no solvent and therefore no odor. MVP-70 has a transparent base, so it is ideal for attaching glass and mirrors. The gripping force reaches up to 70 kg/m2.
• Liquid nails containing an organic solvent. They are easy to distinguish from acrylic ones; they have a pungent odor. When working with them, it is necessary to take care of safety, since frequent use is harmful to health. But the result of the work is pleasing. With their help you can mount almost any material of significant weight.

Advantages

Due to the high efficiency of liquid nails, they have a number of advantages over other adhesives:

• Gluing objects made of plastic, wood, metal and ceramics is very simple and without any problems.
• The drying process does not occur instantly, but rather quickly and provides high strength. Due to the fact that the glue does not dry instantly, it is possible to correct shortcomings made during installation.
• Liquid nails do not destroy the structure of the material, which helps prevent the formation of corrosion.
• They have frost resistance, low flammability and resistance to vibration processes.

It is the possession of all the listed characteristics and advantages that explains many positive reviews about liquid nails.

Precautions during operation

Some types of Titebond liquid nails contain substances that emit an unpleasant odor; for this reason, the technician must wear a respirator. You need to choose high-quality tools for work so that they are safe, because gluing is often done on objects that come into contact with food. Protective gloves and clothing should be worn.

Tips for use

Titebond is recommended to be used only at above-zero temperatures. The substrates to be bonded must be dry, thoroughly cleaned of dirt, grease and foreign particles.

Before applying the substance to the surface, it must be stirred. It should be remembered that the composition completely hardens in 10-20 minutes. Therefore, it must be prepared before starting work. To ensure a tighter adhesion of the surface, you can hold it under pressure for some time.

The adhesive mixture is not recommended for joining painted surfaces or on wet surfaces.

All work with glue must be done in protective equipment. For this, special gloves and glasses are used. If the product gets on the skin or mucous membranes, it should be washed off with plenty of water, and if necessary, consult a specialist. The room should be well ventilated. Air humidity should not exceed established standards.

The shelf life of the waterproof adhesive is 2 years from the moment the package is opened. It should be stored at room temperature. It is not recommended to use expired glue.

Among those who have used the adhesive composition in everyday life, there are both positive and negative opinions.

Positive aspects include ease of use, high density of surface adhesion, and rapid hardening. There are reviews that the strength of the glue is higher than the strength of the wood itself. It is noted that the substance can be easily removed from any surface before it dries.

Disadvantages include the inability of the adhesive to maintain its structure in direct sunlight. Rapid destruction of the adhesive seam is noted. You can also find reviews that the glue dissolves in water, so it is not recommended for repairing boats. Many note the rather high cost.

When using the formulations as intended and following the instructions for use, there are no complaints about the product. Negative reviews are most often associated with violations of application technology or the use of low-quality compounds

It is important to note that any repair products should be purchased in stores. In this case, you must carefully study the instructions, and if you have any questions, consult with a specialist

There are varieties of glue that have a narrow specialization. For example, glue for repairing musical instruments, a product for restoring antiques, household utensils, and wooden souvenirs.

Instructions for use

Titebond II adhesive should only be used in positive temperatures. Before gluing, the surfaces of products should be cleaned of oils, dirt, dust and grease, as well as other substances that would interfere with adhesion. It is necessary to free the surface from old paint. Before use, the glue is mixed, and its drying time can vary from 10 to 20 minutes. During this period, excess composition must be removed with a damp rag, and after drying, the glue can only be removed mechanically. Even after freezing, the composition will remain stable, but may change structure, becoming slightly viscous.

Types of liquid nails by purpose

According to their purpose, liquid nails can be divided into the following types:

• universal;
• special purpose.

It is clear that universal adhesives can be used in any conditions and for installation on any surface. However, such universality does not always work well when the conditions are very specific.

Special-purpose formulations have clear recommendations for use.

The following liquid nails can be found on sale:

• for wet and dry rooms;
• for interior and exterior work;
• for fastening heavy structures;
• compositions of increased strength and high hardening speed;
• glue for mirrors, glass and ceramics;
• adhesive for expanded polystyrene panels and others.
