What’s the difference between Titebond 2 and Titebond 3?

Asked By CraftyPanda74 On

I'm a beginner and I've noticed that everyone seems to recommend Titebond 3 for various projects. Is it becoming the go-to option now, or does Titebond 2 still have its own specific uses?

Titebond 3 is stronger and fully waterproof, while 2 is water-resistant but a bit weaker. Many people opt for 3 just for the added peace of mind, especially for projects like cutting boards. However, 2 can still handle some water exposure; it just isn't as secure in the long term. If you're on a budget, it's worth considering the specific uses for each glue!

Wow, I didn't realize the differences were so significant! Thanks for breaking that down.

Titebond 2 dries lighter than Titebond 3, which is a bit darker. Personally, I prefer 2 because it dries faster, but I switch to 3 for outdoor projects that are exposed to water for a long time. For general use, though, Titebond 2 works great!
