I'll let you know how it goes. I should have some gluing to do tonight or tomorrow.

The guy in the video did say it's not good for vertical squeezes, which makes sense. I don't have any of those to do at the moment though.

Sorry, I don't remember what video it was from. I saw it days ago.

I never used wood glue for much. But I always loved mixing it with saw dust and making a putty to hide my counter sink screws

I'll use it on anything I figure doesn't ever need to come apart. Even if you're using screws, a dab of glue on the joining surfaces is never a bad idea.

It's also a must for 45 degree miter joints, which are really strong (youtube.com) and great for boxes.

I just reuse a smaller original glue bottle. Mine still works and it's probably 20 years old. I like the flat tip vs the round tip. Also, I feel like the tip of the original bottle is teflon or some other less likely to get stuck version of plastic. I don't have to worry about labeling it or having the label come off if it's stored next to other bottles of chemicals. How much glue do you go through in a given year?

I'll use custom bottles for custom mixtures like atf and acetone for loosening a rusted bolt. I also occasionally will pick up syringes for detail work at the pharmacy when I need to fill out a prescription.

Eh, I don't know how much glue I use yet. I'm only just getting my shop organized and tooled up. We'll see by this next winter.

Titebond II is great for speaker building. Dunno about those ketchup bottles though.

Titebond in general is just fantastic wood glue. Titebond II is a bit stronger than the original, but Titebond III is my favorite. You can use it for absolutely anything, including food-contacting pieces like cutting boards, serving trays, etc. Unfortunately Home Depot only had up to II in gallons.
