The most common yellow wood glue and a great value for interior furniture and protected outdoor work, though you should step up to Titebond III when a joint will face real weather or moisture.
Pros
- Meets ANSI Type II water resistance, so it holds up on protected outdoor projects
- Noticeably cheaper than Titebond III while covering most everyday woodworking
- Strong bond that's often stronger than the wood itself, with easy water cleanup
Cons
- Only water-resistant, not waterproof, so it's not for constant soaking or submersion
- Short 3-5 minute open time rushes glue-ups on complex assemblies
- Tan glue line is more visible than Titebond III on very light woods
