Titebond Question

[Michele]

For my roof, I am using 2 layers of 1/8 luan. I am using titebond to glue the second layer to the first layer. Is it ok to thin the titebond with water in order to make the glue earier to spread?

[Mary K]

It was recommended to me to use PL Adhesive and that's what I used.





I t was cool weather when I skinned my td so I heated up the PL in a heating Pad.


If someone say's it's okay to use Titebond, I 'd use Titebond III and you could wrap in it a heating pad to make spread easier?

I dunno, let's let the smart people answer.

Titebond III is a great product. It would hold two layers of skin together without a problem.

But I've never heard of anyone trying to thin it...

I guess we'll wait for the glue experts to arrive!

It's not recommended to thin any woodworking glue that comes in a bottle. If your having problems spreading the glue use a plastic Bondo spreader like I do. You can find them almost anywhere including your local auto parts store. If the glue dries on the spreader just hit with a hammer and peel the dried glue off. It'll be good as new for the next time.
