Glue ??

[James E. Welch]

What glue do you guys use? I'm wondering specifically what glue you use on painted/stained backer boards. Wood glue wouldn't stick to paint well right? Does CA glue hold up well long term?? 

[preprius]

non painted wood for indoors: titebond 2

non painted wood outdoors: titebond3

painted/finished wood or smooth metal surfaces:  baking soda and CA glue.  I will try pencil lead powder and baking soda w/CA glueb if I want a dark looking joint. 

cement or porous surfaces: E6000 or E6800

2 Part epoxy is another glue I have at the ready.

I asked this a few years back and Weld Bond was what I was directed to at that time.. I used it a few times and so far seems to be doing the job fine. It was just light work to hold a painted backer to a cutting that hangs on the wall so there isn't much if any stress to the pieces I did with the Weld Bond.

It dries clear too.

I use Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue. I haven’t had a problem.

I use this if its going to sort of ooze out and you can see it. Like fretwork on a backer.  Never had an issue with it.

otherwise I use wood glue.

Gorela white glue.

You use wood glue on painted surfaces? Does that work well?

This works good on painted or stained surfaces? 

[Dave Monk]

I use tacky glue or 3M77 spray glue.

My vote is for Aileen's tacky glue as well.  Any painted backers this is what I've used for years and never had any problems.

I used to mow her lawn in Arcadia Ca. It was a huge lawn. $30/mo.

You didn't stick with it? How tacky.

I started using this a while ago and really like it, tacks up fast and really holds

She died. My buddy, who was my partner in the mowing business, got into a fight with her husband. Knocked him out. So, that ended that job.

Many times I have sprayed the back of the picture with spray adhesive 77 and put the backer on.  Never had a problem.

I'm going to have to get some of this stuff. It's been highly recommended.

You can get in in a craft store like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby or the craft department at Walmart.

I have used wood glue on painted surfaces with no issues. 

I clamp it down for at least a day.

I'm going to have to do some experimenting with this. I've never actually tried it, I just thought it wouldn't work well (I'm not sure where I got that thought from).

I just yesterday started a round of wood to wood and wood to metal projects with E6000. 

Seems to a great job, but is a lot like some of the tube style glues from the past--it can be runny. (I'm looking at you, ghost of DuPont Duro).

(I'm looking at you, ghost of DuPont Duro).--- I laughed way too hard at this. LOL

I use  E6000 all the time.  A little goes a long way.  I have glued wood to wood (painted), glass to glass, metal to wood and glass to wood with no problems.  If I am doing a really small piece then I use a toothpick to apply the glue.  Can be bought at walmart, and any craft store.
