Reason for Titebond III
First of all, all the glues we have discussed are wood glues. We are just using brand names. All things considered, Elmer's white glue would probably work pretty well. My concern with mahogany was the high oil content. I know it's nothing like bubinga, I thought it was worth a quick question.
Fine Woodworking did a test last year on strengths of wood glue. The one glue which surprised me as generally weak, was Gorilla Glue. That with its issues with life, and clean-up, I just don't use it.
As you might have figured out, I am a woodworker. Guitars are new to me, but I like to combine hobbies when I can.
The reason I like Titebond III is a longer work time than the original. Since this is my first neck glue, I figure the more time I have to adjust, and find mistakes, the better. Gluing always freaks me out, tic,tic,tic tic.... it's like a time bomb if I don't get it correct.
