It costs much more per ounce than Titebond III but you use a lot less. However, off hand, I don’t think the less amount used per joint fully offsets the greater cost per ounce. I suppose it could be calculated.

Obviously the cost per ounce will be greater than TB3 since you use less of it, but cost per joint would be interesting. Good writeup.

My understanding is that the adhesive strength of glue, including PVA and CA glues, is mostly created by molecular attraction forces and less from mechanical bonding. In any case, PVA and Nexabond glue bonds are stronger than the surrounding wood. More information coming up on Nexabond bond strength.

Coming up I’ll have some info on the properties of the glue that I obtained directly from the manufacturer and is not available on their website.

This product looks good.
