Wood Glue: Strong, Reliable Adhesives for Joinery and Carpentry
Wood glue is an essential adhesive for bonding timber and wood-based materials in furniture making, joinery, repairs, and general carpentry. Designed to penetrate and bond wood fibres securely, it delivers a strong, lasting hold across hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, and more. Available in water-based PVA, polyurethane, and aliphatic resin formulations, wood glues suit a variety of indoor and outdoor applications, especially when paired with our range of wood finishes.
Some glues offer fast setting times for quick assemblies, while others provide longer working times for precision projects. Many are sandable, paintable, and moisture-resistant once cured, allowing for a seamless and durable finish. Whether you're completing a delicate craft project or assembling robust structural components, there’s a wood glue to suit. Choose from waterproof, interior, or exterior grades depending on exposure levels. With strong initial tack and gap-filling capabilities, these adhesives make woodworking more efficient, resilient, and professional.
Wood Glue FAQs
What type of wood glue is best for outdoor use?
For exterior applications, choose a waterproof or water-resistant wood glue, such as polyurethane or D4-rated PVA. These glues resist humidity, rain, and temperature changes, making them ideal for outdoor furniture, gates, or garden structures.
Can wood glue be used on engineered wood products like MDF or plywood?
Yes, most wood glues are suitable for engineered woods such as MDF, OSB, and plywood. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry, and consider using a clamp during curing to ensure maximum bond strength, especially on less porous substrates.
How long does wood glue take to set and cure?
Initial setting time can range from 10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the glue type and environmental conditions. Full cure typically takes 24 hours. Always follow the product's label for clamping and drying times to ensure proper adhesion.
Is it necessary to clamp glued wood pieces together?
Clamping is highly recommended to achieve a tight bond and uniform pressure during the setting process. It helps prevent gaps and ensures the glue penetrates and bonds effectively. Use light to moderate pressure unless otherwise specified.
Can wood glue be painted or stained over once dry?
Yes, most wood glues can be painted or stained once fully cured. However, excess glue should be cleaned before drying, as dried residue may repel finishes or appear as lighter patches under stain.
