Stainable Wood Glue
« on: March 20, 2012, 02:30:44 AM »
Some time ago someone mentioned that stainable wood glue was available. I can't seem to find that info in my searching. Did I dream about this stuff or is it a real product? What is the brand name etc?
Thanks for your help.

Charles,
What I have is Elmer's STAINABLE (in capital letters just under the brand name) wood glue. I would buy the smallest size since it seems like it does not keep as well as regular wood glue. Even with all the "enhancements" I have to glue I have not used but an inch or so in the 3 years or so that I have had it. I got mine at Lowe's but I am sure that Home Depot also sells it.

There's this:

I couldn't find the product Dennis mentioned on the Elmer's site -- maybe it has been updated to "Wood Glue Max"?

I had a bottle of the Elmer's STAINABLE that Dennis mentioned.  I think I got it at Lowe's.  I used it up and have not been able to find it again.  I wonder if they discontinued it?

Guys,

For my OOPS! I use regular 5 minute epoxy that is mixed with a little of Brownells Acraglass dye - dark brown color. It works great and is nearly invisible.  Be sure to stain the wood in the glue area/hole/crack before applying the glue for a really good job.

Hey Charlie,  I get advertisements for "Enhancement products" every day, do you want me to send them your e-mail???

Ron, thanks for the offer but I think I will get enough without any additional help.  ;)
