Titebond All Purpose White D2 | PVA dispersion | D2 | Interior only | max 5 min | 10°C | Translucent | General hobby use: wood, paper, fabric, ceramic; not for structural joints
Titebond Cold Press D2 | Modified PVA | D2 | Interior only | max 15 min | 10°C | Dark brown | Cold veneering on MDF, chipboard, plywood: economical alternative to contact adhesives
Titebond Hide Glue D2 | Natural protein | D2 | Interior only | max 15 min | 10°C | Translucent | Restoration of antique furniture, musical instruments: heat reversible, high creep-resistance
Titebond Instant Thin CA | Cyanoacrylate | – | Interior | 5 sec | 10°C | Transparent | Repair of capillary cracks, delaminated veneer edges; low viscosity, penetrates by capillarity
Titebond Instant Medium CA | Cyanoacrylate | – | Interior | 7 sec | 10°C | Transparent | Filling knots, gluing turning blanks, pen tube fastening; medium viscosity
Titebond Instant Thick CA | Cyanoacrylate | – | Interior | 10 sec | 10°C | Transparent | 45° miter joints, rapid assembly of jigs and fixtures; high viscosity
Titebond Instant Gel Black CA | Cyanoacrylate | – | Interior | 30 sec | 13°C | Glossy black | Filling knots and voids with decorative black effect, inlays, spalted wood; 500 cPs viscosity

Note on CA glues (Instant Thin, Medium, Thick, Gel Black): not suitable for food contact products. Use acetone for cleaning, not water. IGM kit tips and bottles are designed for water-based PVA glues; CA glues are applied directly from the original bottle.

Who is this kit for?

Profile | Compatibility | Reason
Artisanal carpenter with mixed joinery (dowels, DOMINO, biscuits, dovetails) | Suitable | The 13 tips cover all standard joints in one set; the thread compatible with Titebond 237 ml bottles allows mounting the tip directly on the original bottle without decanting
Advanced hobbyist with occasional use of different glues for different applications | Suitable | The 2 included 250 ml bottles allow keeping two different glues ready simultaneously (e.g., PVA for structural joints and CA for quick repairs); the bench stand keeps everything organized
Application of CA (cyanoacrylate) glues using the kit tips | Not recommended | The plastic tips in the kit are designed for water-based PVA glues; CA glues polymerize on contact with moisture and can irreversibly clog the tips in seconds

Not suitable for: application of CA glues using the kit tips (risk of immediate clogging); expanding polyurethane glues or two-component epoxy glues not compatible with water cleaning of plastic tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the thread on the 250 ml IGM bottles compatible with all Titebond bottles?

The thread is compatible with Titebond 237 ml plastic bottles. The tips screw directly onto the original Titebond bottle without the need to decant into the bottles included in the kit.

The 2x 250 ml bottles included in the kit are useful for those who buy Titebond in larger formats (473 ml or 946 ml) and want to transfer a limited amount for the current job, keeping the main bottle sealed. The included tip caps allow keeping the tip mounted on the bottle without the glue drying at the opening between sessions.

What is the difference between Titebond Cold Press and other PVA glues for veneering?

Titebond Cold Press is the only variant in the kit specifically formulated for cold laminating veneer onto MDF, chipboard, and plywood. It has an open time of 15 minutes, the longest among the kit's PVA glues, and prevents bleed-through on open-grain veneers.

Standard PVA glues (Original, II, III) have an open time of 5–10 minutes, which is insufficient for positioning veneers on large surfaces. Cold Press with the 60 mm roller included in the kit is the optimal combination for veneering panels: the roller distributes the glue in an even layer without excess, and the 15 minutes of open time allow positioning and centering the sheet before pressing.

Is Titebond Hide Glue suitable for restoring antique furniture with original rabbit skin glue joints?

Yes. Titebond Hide Glue is the only glue in the kit based on natural protein, heat-reversible, with the same compatibility characteristics as traditional rabbit skin glue.

Reversibility is crucial in restoration: a joint glued with Hide Glue can be disassembled by applying moist heat without damaging the wood, just like original joints of antique furniture. PVA glues are not reversible after hardening. For stringed musical instruments, Hide Glue is the obligatory choice, as its high creep-resistance ensures stability over time under constant string tension. Once opened, it is advisable to use the necessary amount without prolonged storage.

Is Titebond Speed Set different from Titebond Original only in terms of cure speed?

Yes, with a significant operational difference: Speed Set's assembly time is 8–10 minutes versus Original's 10–15 minutes, with a higher minimum storage temperature (15°C vs 10°C).

Speed Set is formulated for production environments where reducing clamping time is critical for productivity. UV light visibility is an additional advantage for quality control of the glue line. For hobbyist or artisanal use with non-serialized assembly, Titebond Original offers the same level of strength with greater flexibility in working times.

What is the difference between the four Titebond CA glues (Thin, Medium, Thick, Gel Black) in the kit?

The four CA glues differ in viscosity and open time: Thin (5 sec, low viscosity) for capillary cracks; Medium (7 sec, medium viscosity) for knots and turning; Thick (10 sec, high viscosity) for butt joints; Gel Black (30 sec, 500 cPs) for decorative black filling.

All four polymerize on contact with moisture and are cleaned with acetone, not water. They are not suitable for food contact products. The plastic tips of the IGM kit should not be used with CA glues: the risk of irreversible clogging in a few seconds is real. CA glues are applied directly from the original bottle with the dedicated applicator cap.

Does the IGM dovetail tip also work with half-blind dovetail joints?

Yes. The dovetail tip is designed to distribute glue on the angled surfaces of dovetail joints, both through and blind, where a flat brush cannot reach the inclined walls evenly.

The geometry of the tip follows the trapezoidal profile of the joint and distributes the glue over the entire contact surface in a single pass. For half-blind dovetail joints, where maneuverability is reduced, the tip is preferable to the nylon brush included in the kit, which is less precise in angled geometries.
