The Best Glue For Any Rebuild

The Elmer's E7310 Carpenter's Wood Glue Max, 16 Ounces is the best wood glue you can buy because for one, it is suited for both interior and exterior applications. Most wood glues are only suited for one or the other, so the fact that this does both makes it more valuable. Furthermore, this glue is waterproof. This guarantees that your bond won’t weaken in the rain, which is safer. Also, the glue itself has wood fibers in it so once your bond dries, should you choose to stain your project, you don’t have to worry about it looking strange. This is good if you’re building something for your own home that you’ll see everyday.

The Sugru Moldable Glue is here to make short work of any DIY task you can throw at it. From repairing to reinforcing to bonding, this bad boy is sure to shine on your DIY desk. It comes in a can that measures 6.61 x 3.66 x 0.91 inches and contains eight moldable glues that weigh 3.5 grams each.

You also get various colors to choose from. As far as application goes, the Sugru Multi-Purpose Glue is extremely easy to use. Its non-runny formula quickly sticks to any surface. You get 30 minutes to work with it and then, after 24 hours, the glue will settle into a tough silicone mold.

The Franklin International 5013 Titebond Liquid Hide Glue, 8-Ounce is another great glue to consider buying because for one, it has a somewhat long set time (the time it takes for the glue to set in place). This makes it great for anyone looking to use the glue to put together furniture, or jobs that take a long time, because it means you aren’t rushed and can move something if you make a mistake. Furthermore, this glue is great for hobbyists because it’s formulated to produce an excellent crackling effect, which gives your projects a cool weathered look. This glue is also unaffected by finishes and great for sanding, which even furthers the fact that it’s a great option for hobbyists by making it an excellent choice for all manner of crafts.

I have included the Gorilla Glue 6205001 Wood Glue Bottle, 18-Ounce on this list because for starters, it is extremely strong. I almost always have a bottle of Gorilla Glue on hand because it’s by far the strongest glue I have ever used. Secondly, this glue dries a natural color. That makes it good to use if you want glue for a project that doesn’t involve sanding or painting. Furthermore, this glue is both mildew and water resistant, which means your bond will hold strong for a long time. My final favorite part about this glue is that it’s FDA approved for indirect food contact. That means you can use it for kitchen repairs such as tabletops or cutting boards, thereby increasing the glue’s value.

Gorilla Glue 50004 Adhesive, 4-Ounces is the best all purpose glue because it’s extremely strong. I personally keep Gorilla Glue around at all times because of how tremendously strong it bonds things. It’s unreal. Another great thing about this glue is that once the bond dries, it is paintable and stainable. This makes it a great glue to choose if you anticipate you’ll be working on a lot of things with great aesthetic qualities. I also love how it’s waterproof. That means that you can use it on stuff outside where exposure to elements is more common. The final thing that makes this glue great is that it doesn’t become brittle with age. That means your bond stays strong as long as possible.

The Elmer's Glue-All Multi-Purpose Glue is a great all purpose glue to buy for one, because it’s extremely safe to use. It’s non-toxic, which means you have nothing to worry about while using it, even for your kids. I also like how fast it dries. This is good because it ensures a stronger bond. Another great thing about this glue is that it’s washable. That makes cleanup easy should you have excess run off or an accidental spill. Finally, I am including this glue on this list because of the brand name. Elmer’s has always had a reputation of excellent glues, and their Glue All is no exception.

The Loctite 1363118 0.85-Ounce Plastic Syringe Epoxy Plastic Bonder is a great plastic glue to buy because it’s resistant to both water and almost all common solvents and fluids found in garages. This makes it a great glue to consider if you want it for your job or home. It’s also impact resistant, which means that once it’s dry it won’t crack if you drill it (this means your bond is very strong). Additionally, this also makes the final, hardened bond easy to sand. This glue also doesn’t shrink, which is good for reasons I mentioned above.

The Gorilla Glue 7800101 Super Glue Tubes, 2-Piece, 3 Gram is the number one, best super glue for one because Gorilla Glue is insanely strong. I touched briefly on how good Gorilla Super Glue is in other reviews on this site before. It’s ridiculous how well the stuff works. Moreover, the glue is toughened with rubber. This makes the bond impact resistant, which is good if you plan on using it on something that might take a beating after you repair it (i.e. a kid’s toy). Furthermore, this super glue has an anti-clog tip. This is good if you plan on getting a glue that you can store briefly between uses (super glue likes to dry quickly, clogging nozzle tips). I also love that this glue is a bit thicker than average, which makes it easier to control (runny super glue is a nightmare because it’s really hard to get it to stay where your pour it before applying the bond). Finally, this is a great deal because you get two tubes, thereby increasing your value.

The Krazy Glue KG48348MR Instant Krazy Glue Mini Advanced Precision Tip 0.18-Ounce is one of the best super glues on the market, for one, because it has a precision, extended tip. This makes it a lot easier to apply the glue, which is good if you want a super glue to fix things like broken plates, where a finer and accurate glue flow is more desirable. Furthermore, this glue’s bond is shock resistant once the bond is set. Like the Gorilla Glue, this makes it great for repairs on kid’s toys because of the beating they can potentially take. Finally, I love that this glue dries clear. This makes it great for repairs on items that have more of an aesthetic value because the bond will be less visible.

The Loctite 1363589 4-Gram Bottle Super Glue Ultra Gel Control Adhesive is one of the best super glues I have ever used because for one, it has these cool little ribbed sides that give you a lot more control over how much glue comes out of the bottle when you squeeze them. This makes your application more accurate, which makes forming your bond a lot easier. Furthermore, the glue is resistant to moisture, chemicals and cold temperatures. That makes this a great super glue to use for outdoor applications, such as a broken lawn chair leg. Like several of the other glues on this list, this glue is also impact and shock resistant. This is a great feature to have for reasons I touched on above.

The J-B Weld 8265S Weld Compound - Epoxy Twin Pack is the best metal glue available because for one, it’s waterproof. In addition to that, once the bond is cured it’s petroleum, chemical and acid resistant. That makes it a great adhesive for outdoor and garage applications. Furthermore, once the glue is dry it can be drilled, tapped, machined, filed, sanded or painted. This also makes it a great adhesive to consider if you wish to work on metal that has an aesthetic value. I also love that after the glue is set, it’s non-toxic. That makes it safer to use. My final reason for listing this glue as the top is that it has a tensile strength (the stress that something can withstand while being pulled before breaking) of 3960 pounds per square inch. That’s huge and it ensures your bond will more than likely never break.
