Glue is Glue...Right?

[Hilel Salomon]

Titebond is supposed to have a limited shelf life, but I have used it in an opened bottle years after I bought it. When I opened a bottle of gorilla glue after about a year of shelf life, it was unusable.... hard as a rock. Perhaps it was an unique instance, but I've stopped buying it in large quantities.
Luck, Hilel.

The top performer was Titebond but Im sure they didnt consider heat produced by turning. Worth checking up.

Should there be any significant heat from turning? May I suggest that if there is, the bevel is rubbing too much, and the edge is cutting too little? I could be wrong, but I'm willing to be corrected.

If any of you have the misfortune ever of getting poly glue any where you don't want it, It cleans up nicely,(while wet) with mineral spirits.

One of the reasons I asked this glue question, is that when I went to get a bottle at the big box down the street...several of the bottles were hard as rocks...dry in their bottle. reading the lable, you are to remove any air out of the bottle to extend it's shelf life. I bought a gallon jug of original Titebond instead.

thanks for all the input....and I did not have to buy the beer.
