 I use Elmers professional wood glue on most  carpentry projects...

Should I use something else that may solve problems that I am not thinking of -- like water, paintability etc..?


So your best glue recommendation please gentlemen
Thanks team...............

I use TiteBond Premium wood glue, occasionally mixed in with sawdust for extra strength - it hasn't failed me yet!

Mixing sawdust with the glue is a great tip. Thanks Moose!
