HELP!

What is the best wood working glue?
As soon as I saw the question, I knew Gorilla Glue would be mentioned at least a couple of times. From what I can gather, you really don't want any glue at all where you are trying to put it.





It sounds like you are trying to put a louvered door back together. It can be frustrating, but glue will not help.





Lay the pieces of the door out on a flat surface, arranged the way that they will be when assembled. Insert the slats into one of the rails. Use masking tape to hold the slats in place until you can get everything back together. One piece per slat, parallel to the slat across the front and onto the rail. At this point, you will notice that the slats are off the surface a bit on the side you have installed into the rail. Use a couple of pieces of cardboard or other flat material under the other side of the slats to hold them up a bit so they are more or less level.





Bring the other rail next to the slats and begin inserting them a bit. Start at one end and work your way up. It takes some patience, but it can be done.





Using glue here will make the job more difficult. You would have to glue the slats in place on one side and let it cure. When the glue is cured, the slats would not move at all, so it would be difficult to get them worked into the other rail. If you did not have them aligned just right when you glued, you would have problems.





You should put some glue where the pieces have come apart at the top and bottom. Polyurethane glue (Gorilla Glue is one brand) would be good here, but it is very messy. You will end up with some on the front of the door. If the door is stained, I would not use polyurethane glue, if it is painted it will not be a problem but you will need to touch up the paint.





Yellow wood glue is messy as well, but is much easier to clean up. It will hold just fine, you don't have anything in this situation that requires polyurethane glue. Titebond II by Franklin is the best wood glue, Elmers second. For either type of glue, you will need to clamp the pieces together until dry.





Just noticed you mention that you have tried Elmers wood glue with no luck. One of three problems here --





1) you did not use enough. One surface should be covered with the glue. When you clamp, a bit should squeeze out.





2) you did not clamp tight enough. There needs to be a fair amount of pressure, this is true for either type of glue.





3) you did not leave it clamped long enough. For wood glue, you need to leave it clamped at least 4 hours for a good cure, 24 hours before you really handle it.

Monkey glue (lol) but it's called Gorilla glue that will definately do the trick. I glued my futon back together last year %26amp; hasn't come apart yet %26amp; according to the directions will work indefinately. Can be used on wood, plastic, dishes, almost anything I think if broken better then duct tape. Good luck %26amp; have a good day. :0)
