<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Joe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some little girl sat on my boys' violin =
and smashed
it to bits. I took the bits home in a shopping bag. A few months later I =
thought
I'd use my newly acquired Tite Bond to stick it together. He now prefers =
it to a
replacement violin which I bought for a couple of 100 £ or more. Now =
that's Tite
Bond for you - but it hasn't a Mk 1, or 2, or 3, it's called Original =
Wood Glue
and comes in a 8fl. oz plastic bottle with a <EM>very questionable =
nozzle</EM>
(which I managed to pull off and break. Darn it!)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After several months of using =
TiteBond III, I'm
happy to report that it is now my glue of choice on those repairs that =
I
don't/expect to ever have to take apart! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some of the properties I like: 1. It =
doesn't
stain my fingers like TiteBond II. 2. It has a longer "working time" =
than
TiteBond II. 3. It doesn't clog up sanding devices as badly as either =
TiteBond
or TiteBond II. 4. It dries to a color that is less conspicuous. =
(Soundboard
glue-up comes to mind.) 5. It is really strong!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only down-side that I've found, =
is that it is
best to let it cure a full 24-36 hours before attempting to put major =
stress
on the joint, such as planing, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For those of you who haven't tried =
it, I do
recommend it.</FONT></DIV>
