How does this glue compare with hide glue for furniture repairs? Thanks.

Used it on very old bird house, that is very sentimental and is the best glue I have used on wood.

Gosh I haven't used hide glue in close to 40 years all I can tell you this is very strong..I had to heat it up to feed it into the crack in the forend of my old Remington shotgun and it's held up well to the impact of firing off a shell. I remember hide glue was a lot thinner than this. I guess I'll find out more when I try thinning it a bit. But the Titebond III is very strong and looks to dry clear.

The glue works but avoid glue on area that is not being glued. And need to apply pressure to part being glued together until dry. Unlike rubber glue for shoe or wet suit, apply on parts to be glued separately and let dry the press the two together for very strong bond. hope this help .

I use the tape in woodworking to temporarily secure two pieces of wood. Some Times they get left stuck together for a month and they still come apart and are easily removed with a putty knife. I can't speak to the impact on carpet or rugs.

I do not use any glue. Should not need it and it's easier to remove and clean when needed.

I would use hide glue found in lumber yards mixed with water 1tsp hide lue to a cup of warm water. Makes a great stable water color paint. Maybe a dash of alum.

Hi,I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

I use the CA Glue and Accelerator as a clamping agent. Dot one piece with intermittent dots of CA Glue and regular woodworking glue and spray the other piece with accelerator, carefully join the two pieces and hold for about 20 seconds. The CA Glue and Accelerator form a strong bond quickly and the regular woodworking glue strengthens the bond as it cures over night.

Glue ... I prefer wood glue, Elmers white glue or the tan-colored water-proof wood glue. It's inexpensive and easy to clean up. The only draw back is the drying time. Joined surfaces must be taped, clamped or held steady while the glue dries. This is where the cyanoacrylate (super glue or instant glue) come in handy. They dry instantly, but the odor and getting the adhesive stuck to your fingers can be a problem. They both work good. Tissue tightening .... You must first apply the tissue tight and flat as possible. Use tissue dope (best) or diluted white glue (50/50 with water) to attach a leading or trailing edge first. When this dries wrap the tissue around the wing and attach to the opposite edge. Leave the spars or other wood in between unglued. Wrinkles are the worst and must be avoided. When the tissue is dry spray the surface lightly with water using a mister or spray bottle. Do not soak. Air dry if the room temperature is warm, otherwise put it in the oven with just the light on. The tissue can be re-soaked and re-dried several times if needed. Be careful, over-drying can can warp the surface if it gets too tight. Hope this helps Brad

I used Titebond II (wood glue) on the bottom piece and all six drawers. I've found this brand to hold longer/better than Gorilla or Elmer's (possibly a local humidity effect?) and you should be able to get the original or Titebond III (three viscosities and drying times) at any home center/hardware store for about $6. A newer product I also can recommend is called Nexabond 2500. It will cost a little more and only comes in short- or medium-handling times, but it's a great adhesive for gluing wood to leather, plastic, plexiglass or other materials and takes a lot less effort (e.g., holding pieces firmly for five minutes is better than using wood clamps for an hour or more).

I never tried to glue those two items, think it would work for light work. I would go to another type of adhesive for heavy jobs.Aloha Calvin

Well...to be honest, I've really never used this stuff on nicer or antique type furniture. I originally ordered this to lubricate my screws when building projects. It helps to keep from splitting the wood. Now.....I have built some pieces of small furniture out of old barn wood and rubbed some of the beeswax on afterwards. It kind of darkens the wood and brings out the natural grain and color. It also helps protect the wood from moisture. I just wouldn't go as far to tell you to use it on your antiques in order to achieve what you're looking for. I would try and contact the company about your question.

I'm not sure why I was referred to this question as I do not use Gorilla glue, for outdoors/wet environments/non porous applications I recommend a two part epoxy adhesive and for porous/indoor (wood furniture, etc) yellow carpenters glue.

Tear Mender will definitely man either leather or patent leather. I used the glue to repair a Pottery Barn recliner and the results are excellent. I can barely see where the tear used to be. The glue dries flexible and clear.

Book repair tape is thicker than the paper used to make lanterns. It is mostly used to fix spine issues on books. I would instead look into mending tissue (another bookbinding product), or depending on how severe the issue is another type of thin, flexible tape. Hope that helps!

Hello! I covered a rip on the top of the middle couch cushion on a leather and vinyl couch I have. The tape has been in place for about 2 months, without lifting, cracking, or otherwise breaking down. It really STICKS! The only problem I have, is that the surface texture of the couch is dull/satiny, and the tape is very shiny, which is just my "eye for perfection," flaring up! :) If someone is using it to patch a rip, it is a workhorse. I bought clear, because I did not find any of their tape in the reddish brown color of my couch. In a vehicle, one would consider changes in weather and temperatures. Although, I have used black Gorilla Tape in my barn, to cover sharp edges of a wire partition. It's been in there for about a year, through minus degree weather, and very hot weather, and still holding strong, with very little or no fraying, even though my gelding rubs his body against it regularly, as it is at a level to his shoulders and lower hips.

I don't believe anyone can give a definitive answer, as it depends on the humidity in your house, and whether you've used extra glue in addition to the stuff that's already on it (which I recommend you do, as it makes placement and movement easier). When in doubt, wait another day or two.
