This is your old-old man's answer to everyday woodworking projects. The original Titebond wood glue was designed to cover a wide range of woodworking needs and is a great chocie for many general woodworking projects such as picture framing, box making, and even some lamination projects. This Jack-of-all-trades is also ideal for porous surfaces, such hardboard, particleboard - even leather and cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Titebond Original best used for?

It's a general-purpose wood glue ideal for everyday woodworking such as picture framing, box making, and many lamination projects. It also works well on porous surfaces like hardboard, particleboard, leather, and cloth.

Is Titebond Original water-resistant?

No, the Original formula is best for interior projects that stay away from moisture. For water-resistant work choose Titebond II, and for waterproof joints choose Titebond III. All three are in our wood glue & adhesives collection.

How do I clean up Titebond Original?

It's a water-based glue, so you can clean up squeeze-out with just a wet rag during assembly.

Does Titebond Original dry hard?

Yes. It tends to dry the hardest of the Titebond formulas, including Titebond II and III, which makes it a strong choice for general interior joinery.

Will it work on materials other than wood?

Yes. In addition to wood, it's well suited to porous surfaces such as hardboard and particleboard, and it even works on leather and cloth.

Does it have a strong initial tack?

Yes. Titebond Original is quick setting with a strong initial tack, which helps parts stay positioned as you clamp.

Is Titebond Original affected by finishes?

No. The Original formula is not affected by finishes, so you can finish your project without worrying about the glue line reacting.

How long does Titebond Original last on the shelf?

It has a long shelf life, so a bottle stays ready for use in your shop across many projects.

How is Titebond Original different from Titebond II and III?

Original is a general-purpose interior glue that dries the hardest of the three. Titebond II is water-resistant (ANSI Type II) and Titebond III is completely waterproof, so step up to those when moisture is a factor.

Should I clamp projects glued with Titebond Original?

Yes, clamping pressure gives the tightest, strongest joints while the glue sets. Browse our clamps for glue-ups to find the right clamp for the job.
