<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes the nozzle is a pain in the butt! =
However, I've
devised a way of keeping it working. (it's still the pits if you are =
trying to
"force" some glue into a small crack! My answer to that problem, is to =
transfer
some to a cheapie Elmers glue bottle. the little one with the screw
nozzle.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh, I digress. The method I have is: A =
piece of
scrap wood with a 1/2" hole drilled in it. The nozzle fits snuggly into =
the
hole, thus keeping the glue "at the tip". When applying the glue, I have =
a wet
rag setting in a plastic lid, on the bench and I close the tip by =
pushing down
on the rag and wiping. This keeps the glue tip clear, thus avoiding the
"breaking" problem!<G></FONT></DIV>

<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 =

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 =

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
