Who is this kit for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Artisan carpenter with dowel or DOMINO joinery |
Suitable |
The 4 dowel tips (6–12 mm) and 3 DOMINO tips cover all standard Festool DOMINO DF 500 and DF 700 sizes; the soft silicone distributes glue on the inner walls of the hole without clogging it |
| Hobbyist with occasional use of biscuits or lamello |
Suitable |
The biscuit joinery tip applies glue to the routed slot uniformly on both sides; the silicone tray allows for excess glue recovery without waste |
| Use with two-component epoxy or polyurethane glues |
Not recommended |
Silicone tips are designed for water-based dispersions (PVA, alkyl resin); with expanding polyurethane or epoxy glues, cleaning is difficult and silicone can degrade |
Not recommended for: application of expanding polyurethane glues (such as Gorilla Glue), two-component epoxy glues, or solvent-based contact adhesives, as cleaning of silicone tips with water is not feasible in these cases.

Frequently asked questions
Are the DOMINO tips in the IGM kit compatible with the Festool DOMINO DF 500 and DF 700 systems?
Yes. The 6, 8, and 10 mm DOMINO tips cover all sizes of DOMINO tenons used with Festool DF 500 and DF 700. The tip is inserted into the routed hole and distributes the glue on the inner walls before inserting the tenon.
Correct application involves pouring a small amount of glue into the tray, dipping the tip, and inserting it into the hole, rotating it slightly to distribute the glue over the entire inner surface. This method reduces air bubbles and glue squeeze-out from the joint during clamping.
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 (decks, outdoor shutters, garden structures) and for the production of cutting boards and food-contact items. The longer open time of Titebond III facilitates the assembly of complex structures with multiple joints.
How are the silicone tips of the IGM kit cleaned after use?
The tips should be washed with warm water immediately after use. If the glue has already dried, the silicone allows it to be removed by peeling, without the need for solvents.
The silicone tray allows excess glue to be poured back into the original bottle using the front slots as a spout, avoiding waste. The tips can be rested on the same slots during work breaks to keep the work surface clean. Do not use this kit with polyurethane or epoxy glues: cleaning in those cases is not feasible with water and can damage the silicone.
Is Titebond Original D2 suitable for dowel joints on indoor furniture?
Yes. Titebond Original D2 is the standard choice for dowel joinery on indoor furniture: high initial tack, assembly time of 10–15 min, and dry strength superior to the wood itself.
The maximum open time of 5 minutes requires preparing all dowels and applying glue to all holes before starting assembly. For complex structures with many simultaneous joints, or in environments with temperatures above 20°C that accelerate drying, it is advisable to switch to Titebond III D4, which offers an open time of 10 minutes.
Can Titebond III D4 really be used for cutting boards and food-contact items?
Yes. Titebond III Ultimate meets European requirements for food contact and is explicitly indicated by the manufacturer for the production of cutting boards and similar products.
This certification applies to fully cured glue (24 hours of curing). The dry joint is resistant to washing with water, which is crucial for cutting boards subjected to frequent washing. It should be noted that Titebond Original D2 and Titebond II D3 do not have this specification for food contact: for cutting boards and wooden kitchen utensils, Titebond III is the correct choice within this kit.
