acrylic wood glue

Post by Dan Hill »

Harbor Freight lists a water-based acrylic wood glue, HFT - item#91768, which they describe as waterproof, durable, and clear-drying. I'm familiar with most types of glue, but I've never heard of this stuff. Does anybody have any experience with this or anything like it? I'm not thinking in terms of luthiery, but possibly wind instrument use such as laminating the two halves of a NA-style flute.

Coming from HF does not instill confidence. I suggest significant testing before relying on unknown materials.

Titebond III might be a good option.

Yup, that's what i have used before. I was just curious about whatever this is. The only use for acrylic glue I that I had previously encountered was for rubber mats around swimming pools and locker rooms.
In any case, it's cheap. I might try it for casual use and see what happens.
Thanks.
