It is a powder and mixed with water forms a thin brown liquid. Smells 'sweet". Must be clamped with good pressure. Dried rock hard and is absolutly stronger than the wood itself. I haven't seen it in stores lately, it used to come in 8 oz cans like stains and paints. The working time I believe is at least 5 minutes. If you need non creep, long working time, and very easy spreading with brush, this is a glue to check out.---ric
