<html> Terry,     I'm not going to dispute information from the Web...... oh no! But.... I've done steamed and bent laminations of many varieties and configurations using Titebond. "Creep" has never been a problem. Much better working time for most applications. Lotsa time for vacuum applications! Major-league climate stress here, also. Titebond is the champ, for me.

Franklins Titebond and Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue are both examples of this type. Some companies market a version of yellow glue that is colored brown to be less noticeable on dark woods.   Yellow glues are really white glues that have been modified to have better woodworking properties. They are less runny because they are thicker and have a higher solids content (the ratio of resin to solvent.) They sand better because the resin is harder and consequently doesn't gum up and clog sandpaper.   While yellow glues have a number of advantages, there are several disadvantages you need to take into consideration. They have a short open time of around five minutes so you have to work quickly. They also have a high initial tack which makes re- positioning very difficult. Also, these type of glues and the white varieties have poor creep resistance. Their elastic nature allows them to slowly stretch under sustained loads. This is a problem in bent lamination and load bearing assemblies like structural beams. What happens is that the glue is so elastic it will move, which results in eventual joint failure.   Is this just urban legend or what? What I am especially concerned about is laminated ribs, rib-to-panel, and bridge-to-panel joints with Tightbond. I know its been stated that creep is not a problem, but I was rather suprised to see the above on a website that otherwise seems to provide pretty darn good information.   Terry Farrell</blockquote></html>
