It has the consistency of whipped cream, the working time is shorter than regular titebond, about 5 to 8 minutes depending on how much play you leave in your boring, in fact a little larger bore works better with it. The gap filling properies are wonderful, if you find some are a little crooked or angled wrong the glue softens with a heat gun for adjustment. I've found it at most home centers. </div> <div><br clear="all">Mike<br>-- <br>People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those of us who are doing it.<br>Michael Magness<br>Magness Piano Service<br>608-786-4404<br><a href="http://www.IFixPianos.com"> www.IFixPianos.com</a><br>email <a href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com</a> </div>
