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.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use this to glue drywall

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:	do i have to mix the entire container at once
Answer:	This fill need to be use and let dry for some time before you can stain /paint over it, and when storing it for the next time turn the container up side down so it doesn't dry out over time.
Question:	Why can't I get it out of the tube

Answer:	Yes, you can. When filling larger holes: you can speed up the drying process by stuffing part of the gap with a small cutoff piece of wood. Make sure to overfill the area, that way it will sand to a straight, smooth finish
Question:	What is difference or recommended use regarding wood filler and two part epoxy

In addition to the ample working time and non-sagging formula, you'll really appreciate the no-VOC, no-odor formula that makes it ideal for indoor use.

RTG Wood Rot Repair Epoxy (sold separately) stops rot, while hardening and sealing the wood. Afterward, apply Wood Repair Epoxy Putty to reshape the surface. Compare to System Three Sculpwood, PC Products PC Woody Wood Repair Epoxy Paste, and Abatron WoodEpox. All RTG products are a great value, very easy to use, and 100% made in the USA.

Question:	Can this product be used outside
Answer:	you probably could if you mold it and sand it. It comes out like playdoh if you mix it correctly
Question:	Can I put polyurethane over it

Question:	Is the tip a small point or more like a toothpast tube? I need to fill holes on small round details and need a small tip dispenser
Answer:	This is intended for wood to wood bonding and may not adhere well to the mirror. If you have any further inquiries, please contact Aleene's at [email protected] or call 1-800-438-6226.

User questions & answers

Question:	how much load does it resist? I need to use it in wooden frames for heavy paintings? Approx 7 kg and transparent
Answer:	It has a tapered tip you can cut to the desired size, similar to a tube of caulk.
Question:	Is this nonflameble
Answer:	yes does very good
Question:	What does "This is an aftermarket of generic part" mean? Is this not made by Elmer's
Answer:	I wouldn’t mix rubbing alcohol with these two chemicals. The mixture & off gases may be harmful. There is no need to thin the two compounds mix together easily like soft molding clay. It can then be easily placed and molded to final shape. Like clay it can be easily squeezed into all crevasses in the rotted wood. Thinning the product would defeat the ability to mold into a final shape before sanding
Question:	Will this work for repairing a broken chair leg and be strong enough for normal use
Answer:	My lumber was not pressure treated but either way you need to use a rotted wood sealant. There is an elmers glue version here on amazon which worked great. My point is that there is no difference at that point cuz the sealant acts as a barrier to keep from rotting. Short answer is it should work for you. I actually liked this product allot. Caution you MUST use disposalble glovea.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone have success filling chips on hard wood floors and success staining this stuff
Answer:	I've done it successfully several times. I've had to mix a little wood glue with the filler each time and make more than one application since there is shrinkage as the mixture drys. Then I've roughed it up a bit with fine sandpaper and applied stain or varnish stain. Takes some care and practice.
Question:	Why isn't the color of the filler marked on the package??? Very not friendly!!! Color is everything with filler
Answer:	It's a WOOD filler. You paint or stain afterward.
Question:	Could it be used to fill in shower grout lines and Rust-Oleum used to refinish without grout lines
Answer:	We do not recommend using this product to fill in shower grout lines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Question:	Is this product dry powder or premixed
Answer:	Hello, this was premixed and not just dry powder. As a "do it yourself senior of 87 (!)", I found it really excellent for what I needed for 2 medium sized jobs. It filled the holes and dried nicely. I bought it originally on a recommendation of a local timber yard and then bought another box from Amazon. If you do not use it all at once I found it useful to push it down off the sides of the box, and cover it with a bit of plastic very loosely on the top of the mixture, hardly touching. June.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much setup time does this allow (i.e., how much fiting time does it allow before it starts to set
Answer:	The aftermarket of generic part means replacement parts are made by a company other than the original manufacturer.
Question:	Can this bind aluminum foil
Answer:	Make sure that you use clamps so that the bond is strong. I used it all the time. Mix with sawdust and make wood filler.
Question:	Does this glue dry clear
Answer:	It's rated for both interior and exterior use. I recently built a cover for my pool motor and used this to fill many holes and seams where the 2x4's came together (i.e. I did not want any places where water could pool or collect). I used pocket holes to join the 2x4's with paintable plugs and filled in the plugs as well. I applied several coats of aerosol primer, then color coat and lastly an oil-based aerosol spar polyurethane for added protection. I have a similar (smaller) project that has been exposed to the elements for over a year and it looks great (no rot or breakdown)
Question:	Is this water proof
Answer:	Yes you can after staining it will help make it look more real sanding lite in between coats of polyurethane
