Titebond III wood glue for indoor and outdoor joints
When a glue joint is going to see moisture, you want one rated to take it. Titebond III is the waterproof grade in the Titebond line, made for work that the original yellow glue isn’t built for.
Use it on exterior trim, sash, doors, and other joints that get rained on or swing through humid seasons. While the glue is still wet it cleans up with water, so there’s no solvent to deal with.
Why Titebond III
- Waterproof bond rated for exterior use
- Works indoors and out
- Water cleanup before it cures
- The strongest of the standard Titebond glues, a clear step up from Titebond I
