Yea, I buy the glue in the smaller containers, too...not the tiny ones, but the larger squeeze bottle. Easy to handle and the glue gets used up in a reasonable time.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
I picked up some TBIII and I do like it. I've got a question though. Whenever squeezeout is left to dry, this glue seems to dry like rubber, unlike the TBI which dries really hard. Does that seem odd to you?
TB3 for me. It's the only glue I use any longer. I was also impressed by the parent company's customer service.

I have been using tb111 for out door products since it came out .yet to have a glue fail as far as i know .I have always thought of it as waterproof .
i was at a deck job i did 15yrs ago .used biscuits and tb111 on the miters . there has been a small amount of opening on a couple of joints .but most show no movement .i am very impressed .
wonder what that manufacturing standard is - may still out last the wood .
I use Titebond 1 for general woodworking. When I need slightly more open time, little creep for mild bent laminations, or the most water resistant I use Titebond 3. I stock both, the most of Titebond 1.
Which one is red, blue, or green? Why not ask I, II, or III?
I use III.
Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night
Thought that regular white glue was favored for cheap + extended open?
(was wondering at the responses where folks normally used TBI for cost, but switched to TBIII when needing longer open)
I buy smaller sizes by project, as my shop time is erratic enough that old glue is a recurring issue.

TBII Extend is pretty good for a PVA-type glue open/assembly time. 15 minutes open time, 20-25 minutes assembly time. A downside is temp. - 60o min.
