Aleens tacky glue

[woodcutter]

I  used a oil stain on my backer board and BLO on my fretwork.
After 24 hrs I sprayed both my backer and both sides of my fretwork with Krylon Acrylic satin spray, Should I use Aleens tacky glue to glue my backer to the fretwork ( will it hold ) or should I use epoxy glue?

Hey Jim, After every thing is dry, Aleen's Tacky glue will work just fine. It's what I use. If you get any squeeze out, just use a tooth pick to clean it up before it dries.

I agree with Dan...

Once the surfaces are completely dry there should be no problem...

I use Aleene's even when gluing things to the 'black felt' I use.

I am going to try some Aleene's. I have heard you talk about it Dan but have never used it. Will it hold bare wood as good as Elmer's wood glue or Titebond? I know they don't bond well on finished wood.

I use Titebond for every day woodworking where you would use clamps. I use the Aleen's tacky glue where clamps wont work such as scroll saw projects, especially where pieces have been stained or finished. These projects don't need structural strength. The tacky glue will "grab" small pieces so you don't need to clamp. You can actually handle the piece after about ten minutes of drying time.
To date, I have never had a failure of anything I have glued with the tacky glue.
Make sure you get the brown bottle!

Hey Dan, I use Titebond III on all my scroll work.  As of now I have not had any pieces come apart on me.  I give it at least 12 to 18 hours drying time to.  But after a couple of hours you can pick it up and it holds really well.

Aleene's Tacky Glue is good stuff!  As Dan said, it isn't for every woodworking application, but it's advantages make it ideal for many general craft type projects where the glue bonds aren't subjected to a lot of stress as in cabinetry or furniture making joints.

I also occasionally use a gel CA glue in situations where I need an instant bond and have limited surface area to apply glue.  Again, no substitute for a good woodworking glue, such as Titebond, for general use, but these specialty glues have their place and can make life a lot easier.
