14 best woodworking glues
Woodworking glues play a crucial role in the construction and assembly of wood projects, providing strong bonds and ensuring the longevity of the final product. One type of adhesive commonly used in woodworking is cyanoacrylate adhesive, often referred to as "super glue" or "CA glue." Here's what you should know about woodworking glues, with a focus on cyanoacrylate adhesives:
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives (CA Glue):
- Fast Bonding: Cyanoacrylate adhesives are known for their rapid bonding capabilities. They can create strong bonds in a matter of seconds or minutes, making them ideal for quick woodworking projects.
- Versatility: CA glues can bond various materials, including wood, plastic, metal, ceramics, and more. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of woodworking applications.
- Viscosity Options: CA glues come in different viscosities, from thin to thick. Thin CA glue is ideal for penetrating and bonding porous materials, while thicker versions are better for gap-filling and vertical applications.
- Strength: Cyanoacrylate adhesives offer strong and durable bonds. They are resistant to moisture, heat, and many chemicals, ensuring the longevity of woodworking projects.
- Caution: It's essential to use CA glue with caution as it bonds skin and eyes quickly. Proper safety precautions, such as wearing protective eyewear and using in a well-ventilated area, are crucial.
Other Types of Woodworking Glues:
- Wood Glue (PVA): Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) wood glue is a common choice for woodworking projects. It's available in various formulations, including regular wood glue, water-resistant wood glue, and even exterior-grade versions for outdoor projects.
- Polyurethane Glue: Polyurethane glues are known for their strong bonds and ability to expand as they cure, filling gaps in joints. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor woodworking projects.
- Epoxy Resin: Epoxy resin is a two-part adhesive that provides exceptionally strong bonds. It's often used for laminating, joining dissimilar materials, and filling voids in wood.
- Hide Glue: Hide glue is a traditional adhesive made from animal collagen.It has been used in woodworking for centuries and offers a reversible bond, which can be an advantage for antique restoration work.
Application Tips:
- Proper surface preparation, including clean, dry, and well-fitted joints, is essential for successful glue bonds.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific glue you are using, including clamping time and curing time.
- Use the appropriate type of glue for your woodworking project, considering factors like wood type, exposure to moisture, and the type of stress the joint will experience.
In summary, woodworking glues, including cyanoacrylate adhesives, come in various types and formulations to meet the specific needs of woodworking projects. Selecting the right glue for your project and following proper application techniques will help ensure strong and durable bonds in your woodworking endeavors.

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this Item the bottle only, I assume it does not include the glue |
Answer: | Yes. |
Question: | Do the bottles come with the cap lanyard |
Answer: | 30-45 min at 60+ degrees is fine. |
Question: | Is there a warranty for this? Mine has stopped working |
Answer: | Foregone 3 is safe for "indirect use" on food items and is F.D.A. Approved. I assume "direct use" means putting it on a hot dog like it's mustard (edible)? The only "glues" I know like that would be direct use would be gelatin and a flour/water mix; they were used back in the day, with limited success. I know firebird 3 has been used in millions of cutting boards without any reported ill effects. Hope this helps. |
Question: | Is the Gluebot made from dead horses |
Answer: | Good question.. I only use Type III. Mostly on raw wood (unfinished) I have used it on pieces of furniture that have been finished. Discovered no problems. Clean up with shop rag, slightly damp. |

No more finger spreading
We've all done it. We apply some glue on craft paper or a piece of wood and instead of reaching for the old unreliable horse hair brush, we use our finger to spread the glue evenly. With the Sili Brush, there's no need for worry. The bristles won't fall off into the glue and the brush applies the glue smoothly and evenly.
Ideal for woodworkers
Woodworkers love to apply just the right amount of glue for their projects. This is especially true when working in tight or smaller areas like dado slots. The Sili brush makes quick work of these types of projects with its flexible silicone bristles.
Paddle and Rest
The other end of the handle features a super handle paddle tip that allows you to get into really tight areas like those found in box joinery and dovetail joinery. It also works exceptionally well for a large amount of arts and craft projects. The "other" end also features a unique rest that keeps the paddle end off of your work surface when it is not in use.
Larger Glue Ups
With the Sili Tray and comb you can now tackle larger projects that require more glue. The tray can hold ample amounts of glue and when you are done and have some glue left over, you can use the spout end of the tray to pour the remaining glue back into its original container. The unique double duty Sili combe has a squeegee end and a bristled comb end. The squeegee end applies glue smoothly to larger surfaces while the comb end produces textured or grooved pattered glue to larger surfaces.
Waterproof bristles
If you choose to clean your brush immediately after use, simply run the glue brush tip under warm water and work the bristles with your fingers until all the glue is gone. You may use a liquid soap to help if so desired.
Let it dry
If you don't have the time or if you simply just prefer to, you can let the glue dry overnight. Once the glue is dry on the Sili Brush tip, simply crack the dried up glue and peel the glue off of the brush tip.

User questions & answers
Question: | On E7310's product description, it says ANSI Type 1 waterproof. It is not soluble in water after dry. right |
Answer: | I've never glued drywall and prefer to use the recommended placement of it using drywall screws or nails. This has a drying time when using it. Do not know how to stabilize the drywall in place if you were to glue it. Although I think it would hold, once dry, I wouldn't recommend it. |
Question: | Hi, I'm trying to glue a mirrow to the hutch part of my desk. Do you think this will work and not fall apart on me |
Answer: | This product has an average shelf life of two years if unopened. |
Question: | What is the lowest temperature the glue can set at |
Answer: | You will still need nails to hit the wall joists. The glue will work, but it will eventually pull the layer of paint or Sheetrock paper from the wall. Glue is mainly used in corners where molding like chair rails meet each other. |
Question: | Is this pet friendly |
Answer: | This is very good glue, but I do not know if it will hold under water. I use this glue for exterior wood projects and I am satisfied for my use. |

Product description
Gorilla wood glue is the adhesive that woodworkers, carpenters and hobbyists trust for their woodworking projects. Gorilla wood glue, a PVA glue, offers the benefits of an easy-to use, water-based adhesive, with the holding power Gorilla is known for. This PVA glue is incredibly water resistant and Dries a natural color that offers an invisible bond line for your projects. Directions: for best results, it is essential that the wood surfaces are prepared prior to application of glue. For laminating, the surfaces should be planed smooth, leaving the board surface free from machine marks, tear-out and snipes. Also, be careful to avoid burnishing and end snipes. In general, apply a generous amount of glue on one of the surfaces. On hard-to-glue woods, apply the glue on both surfaces. Rub together with the other surface to distribute the glue evenly on both surfaces. Enough glue should be applied so that a fine bead of glue squeeze-out will occur when clamping. Coverage: one gallon of Gorilla wood glue will cover about 200 square feet. One fluid ounce will cover approximately 1.6 square feet. Clamping: the technique and type of clamp to be used is determined by many factors. In general, apply enough pressure that will cause a fine bead of glue to squeeze out when the proper pressure is applied. Clamping time (amount of time pressure needs to remain applied): 20–30 minutes for room temperature applications. The temperature must be above 55°f. Note that clamping time can be dependent on temperature, humidity, and the porosity of the wood. Cure time (amount of time for glue to reach TOTAL bonding strength): 24 hours. Clean up while glue is wet: use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off excess glue. When areas have completely dried, sand as needed.

User questions & answers
Question: | I want to affix a small wooden piece of a kitchen drawer Will this work |
Answer: | It's better to glue your parts together before painting. That way you will get a much better bonding of parts together. Than too you can cover up your joint with paint better and make it not so noticeable. |
Question: | What’s with the pricing? This is not $.46/oz |
Answer: | I used the Gorilla Wood glue in wood only, for a piece of a wood fence that broke off. It is out in the elements and has held nicely. For concrete you might want to try the all purpose gorilla glue as it is able to form a bond with many other types of material |
Question: | Can I use it to repair floating wood floor |
Answer: | If you can use screws to attach metal and wood, it will be better ...... I don't think the glue will work with metal, unless is Gorilla Glue, 100% water proof. Which you can use it to almost everything, metal, wood, ceramic, plastic etc. |
Question: | I have a door that is stained that I want to put a decorative stained wood slat overlay on, will this hold the overlay securely |
Answer: | No the original is a different formula that thing will expand a lot. This is wood glue for working with with wood. I didn't notice any of the glue expanding. It stays in the same place when it dries. It gives you about 5 mins of working time before it begins to harden. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you use my is glue for a mirror wooden leg |
Answer: | Just be sure to allow glue to cure before exposing piece to water (or severe moisture)!!!!!! |
Question: | Is this glue apprpriate for gluing a bottom chair brace intp the chair leg |
Answer: | This is a poor choice for gluing glass to anything . I'd use a silicon caulk / glue instead . |
Question: | How can I get the glue out of the bottle and it new |
Answer: | Below 50 degrees any PVA (polyvinyl acetate/yellow or white glue) doesn't develop as strong a bond and takes days to set. As this product contains a certain amount of water, it is suggested that your glue be set in a mild temperature. |
Question: | This advertisement says $10 for 36 ounce bottle? I'm buying this now incase it was a mistake and grabbing that deal |
Answer: | I assume you mean "is it safe for pets?" Although ingestion should be avoided and a poison center or vet should be called as a precaution, This glue is indeed considered non-toxic and therefore generally safe for pets. In regards to wood glue that is unsafe for pets; Be sure to avoid glues that foam as they dry, like Gorilla Glue and other polyurethane glues (avoid any glue that contains diphenylmethane diisocyanate - also known as MDI - as the active ingredient). The foaming/expanding glues will expand after ingested and can form a blockage in your pets digestive tract requiring surgery. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the working time without the activator |
Answer: | I believe adjustable position back rests on the seats on the x |
Question: | Epoxy wears out and needs to fix it. Can I use it to fill up the gap between 2 marble countertops? water going to this area during washes dishes |
Answer: | Yes, there's a splash guard. In the image - that silver panel at the top of the mesh screen is an moveable guard. If your front flap is rubbing on the bike tire, then you're riding with the front arm in the 'walking' slot, as opposed to the 'biking' slot. I made that mistake at first too. |
Question: | Is this product water proof |
Answer: | 100 lbs. We purchased this for our grandkids, who are 90th percentile height and weight, and we wanted to be able to have both of them in the trailer, plus extras. It is great! |
Question: | Is this product the same as MitreBond |
Answer: | Yes, very. The top bar disconnects easily and allows the two sides to fold down on to itself. The two big side wheels pop off with a button press and the whole thing then fits into a normal sized car trunk. it certainly doesn't become "tiny" but it keeps about the same footprint but only takes up about half the height. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can I use super glue with this kit |
Answer: | Dear Jack Feng, Yes, our that is product water proof. Best Regards. Laura Benasse Customer Services |
Question: | Can you apply contact cement with this roller, and would ut stand up to cleaning with acetone |
Answer: | This glue is amazing ! It’s the best and fastest setting glue I’ve ever used. The activator sets the glue “ instantly “ I used it on a stained glass project where I fastened twisted colored wire to make a spider web. It turned out GREAT . Warning Don’t get it in your fingers or it will take a few days to peak off. |
Question: | Do you have to squeeze the bottle to dispense the glue |
Answer: | To clarify, when trailering begins a bike the handlebar should be rotated all the way forward. On mine, this by default positions the flag holder to be facing straight upwards. |
Question: | How wide is the roller |
Answer: | I haven’t taken it into a store yet. It moves on a dime with ease. Depending on the store though, it might be a little big. |
Product description
Difference Between Super Glue and CA Glue: Super glue, cyanoacrylate, and CA glue are all different names that describe the same instant adhesive. Various user groups adopt different names for them. For instance, woodworkers, model-builders, serious hobbyists and skilled crafting pros use terms like cyanoacrylate adhesive or CA glue. Commercially, most know the adhesive as superglue.
Starbond Medium CA:
Starbond Medium is a medium viscosity CA glue. The all-purpose cyanoacrylate glue possesses an easy flowing oil-like viscosity. Medium super glue has properties of both the thin and thick, such as the ability to penetrate narrow slots, bond closely-fitted parts, and fill small gaps. Similar to the thinner CAs, the EM-150 is also used as a finish by applying several coats, sanding, and then polishing to a high gloss.
Used In:
Woodturning and Pen Making: High gloss CA finish and pen finish for a hard, clear, waterproof coat. Glue pen tubes into pen blanks. Woodworking: Repair and fill wood cracks, bond hard wood
Lapidary: Cracked stones and cabochons, high gloss polish for stones and petrified wood
Hobby Model Assembly: RC car tires, RC boats, RC planes, toy models, balsa wood joints
Guitar Repair and Assembly: Guitar inlays on the headstock, body, and fretboard, install bindings and purflings on stringed instruments
Marble, Granite and Quartz repair
Taxidermy
Compatible With:
Wood Metal Rubber Leather Ceramics Gemstones Rocks & Minerals Carbon Fiber Fiberglass PVC and Most Plastics.
Tips: When bonding two very smooth surfaces together, sand the mating surface down for stronger holding strength.
- ✅ PREMIUM ETHYL CYANOACRYLATE SUPER GLUE - LAB TESTED FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE: High performance industrial grade adhesive. The Medium CA is great to have around in the house as a "general purpose" repair glue.
- ✅ EXTRA SUPPLIES: applicator caps, clog-free stopper, and a bag of micro-tips for precision. The extra applicator caps are in case of future clogs, the clog-free stopper has a tiny pin to prevent clogs, and micro-tips provide the perfect extension for tiny cracks.
- ✅ "MULTI-PURPOSE" ARTS, CRAFT & HOBBY ADHESIVE: Great for gluing RC car tires, acrylic nails, model airplanes, wooden instruments, wood turning finish, pen making, lapidary applications to treat cracked stones, and bonding close-fitting parts.
- ✅ PROPERTIES: Viscosity: 150 cPs (meaning the thickness of the liquid is similar to that of motor oil). Penetrating abilities of up to 0.006" in size.
- ✅ LONG LASTING SUPERIOR SHELF LIFE: Starbond CA glues have a shelf life of several years in the cold. Store the bottle under 40°F before AND after use to qualify for our 30 Month Shelf Life Warranty. If the glue does not last, we will provide a 100% refund or replacement.
User questions & answers
Question: | What is the length of the 'extension tips? Can the extension tips dispense glue also |
Answer: | Yes, but that's not a good joint if the object is going to be under weight load or experience twist or movement. The wood/metal CA glue bond can break easily under stress if the metal is not etched or roughened first. Porous surface to smooth non-porous surface bonds are only as strong as the shear strength of the glue itself. CA glues are stiff, brittle. Wood to metal bonds with a flexible adhesive such as silicone caulk are much stronger under load or flexion. |
Question: | Would this be good to fix the prongs that hold a cd in place? i think the thin would be too watery. the case is also custom made so i can’t replace it |
Answer: | It will shine up nicely. Many woodturners use a CA glue as a finish on pens and small turned items. You may have to play to see if this thick gel works better than a medium viscosity for your use. Play a little. BTW. Starbond is a really nice, high quality glue. If you dont need to have it cure quickly dont use an accelerator with it. An accelerator can sometimes introduce small bubbles into the glue that would ruin the finish you are looking for. |
Question: | How do you remove this dried glue from fingers |
Answer: | I would suggest not using it. It has some nasty chemicals in it. I suggest you find out more before you use this in the Koi pond. |
Question: | Can I use this to attach tips for doing my nails |
Answer: | The micro nozzles slip right over the top of the existing nozzle that is already on the bottle. After you remove the cover,use pin to punch a hole in the top of the nozzle that comes on the bottle then slip the micro over that. |
