Who this kit is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Artisanal carpenter assembling glued structures |
Suitable |
The 24 mm brush quickly covers large surfaces like side panels and shelves; the serrated spatula distributes glue in a uniform layer on flat tenons and tongue and groove joints |
| Hobbyist with joining work on small pieces and deep mortises |
Suitable |
The 13 mm brush with a 40 mm handle reaches the bottom of mortises and dovetail joints where a standard brush cannot; the soft silicone leaves no bristle residue in the joint |
| Use with two-component epoxy or polyurethane glues |
Not indicated |
Silicone brushes are designed for aqueous dispersions (PVA, alkyl resin); with expanding polyurethane or epoxy glues, cleaning with water is not effective and silicone can degrade |
Not suitable for: application of expanding polyurethane glues, two-component epoxy glues or solvent-based contact adhesives, as cleaning the silicone brushes with water is not feasible.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the IGM brush kit and the IGM tip applicator kit for dowels and DOMINO?
The brush kit is designed for flat surfaces, open mortises, and dovetail joints; the tip applicator kit is for cylindrical holes for 6–12 mm dowels and 6–10 mm DOMINO tenons.
The two kits are complementary: the 13 mm brush with a 40 mm handle fits into rectangular mortises and dovetail joints, while the cylindrical tips of the applicator kit distribute glue on the inner walls of circular holes where a flat brush cannot reach. Those who work with both dowels and open joints benefit from having both kits available.
Is the serrated spatula in the IGM kit suitable for flat DOMINO tenons?
Yes. The serrated edge of the spatula distributes glue in a uniform layer on the flat surface of the DOMINO tenon before insertion into its recess, avoiding accumulations that would cause excessive squeeze-out when the joint is closed.
The flat edge of the same tool is used to remove excess glue from the edges of the joint after closure, an operation that risks marking the wood with a metal spatula. The soft silicone slides on the surface without leaving scratches even on soft woods like poplar and linden.
What is the practical difference between Titebond II D3 and Titebond III D4 for outdoor joinery?
The main difference is the degree of water resistance and open time: Titebond II D3 offers resistance to occasional moisture with an open time of 5 min; Titebond III D4 is waterproof with an open time of 10 min, suitable for prolonged water exposure.
For window frames and garden furniture exposed to rain but not immersion, Titebond II D3 is sufficient and more economical. Titebond III D4 is recommended for structural elements exposed to repeated wetting and drying cycles and for the production of cutting boards and tools in contact with food. The longer open time of III facilitates the assembly of complex structures with many simultaneous joints.
Can Titebond III D4 be used for cutting boards and food contact items?
Yes. Titebond III Ultimate meets European requirements for food contact and is indicated by the manufacturer for the production of cutting boards and similar products, once fully cured (24 hours).
Titebond Original D2 and Titebond II D3 do not have this specification: for cutting boards and wooden kitchen utensils, Titebond III is the correct choice within this combo. The dry joint is resistant to washing with water, a crucial condition for cutting boards subjected to frequent cleaning.
How do you clean the silicone brushes in the IGM kit after use?
The brushes should be washed with lukewarm water immediately after use. If the glue has dried, the silicone allows it to be peeled off without solvents.
The silicone tray allows excess glue to be poured back into the original bottle using the front notches as a spout. The brushes can be rested on the same notches during breaks to prevent the tip from touching the work surface. Do not use this kit with polyurethane or epoxy glues: cleaning in those cases is not feasible with water.
