To all those in this forum,
When building structures use Gorilla glue or titebond exterior polyurethane
glue. With gorilla glue you can you a spray bottle of water for a speed activator.
I’ve also found if you caulk with construction adhesive, like on inside corners of
buildings it adds tremendous strength and prevents warpage.

Matt,
Thanks for the tip. I have been using Weldbond white adhesive full strength with exellent results. Once it dries it will not come apart at the joint. The wood will break, splinter, or snap nearby but the joint will be intact. I use a bead along each inside corner and that will do the trick. Later eh…Brian.
I should mention that the gorilla Glue and Titebond polyurethane glue is for wood only…I believe. It also has a habit of foaming out of the joint kind of like spray foam. but it can be sanded off easily.

Yeah! You got my vote on the Gorilla Glue. Stuff is incredible… sticks like glue!

P.S. GR’s April issue has a fine article on glues. Page 28. Really helpful in selecting the best glue for the job.
mkblk, i felt compelled to post due to GR mag not metioning these two glues.
Matt,
Everyone has their favorite. One glue will not always work in every climate or situation. Sometimes we have products that are local also. Keep postin’! When we share our ideas we can accomplish a whole lot more! Later eh…Brian.
they also didnt mention hot glue. it works very well for some things.
Hey all,
Just a note on Weldbond. It is not waterproof so don’t leave it outside in the rain. For indoors and for good weather it is exellent. Later eh…Brian.
