- I wanted to see for myself how strong CA glue is compared to wood glue.

If you want a strong and quick joint glue the middle with wood glue and just a dot of CA at either end. The CA will act as a clamp wile the wood glue dries
I can't believe you are actually concerned with environmental footprint of glue, when all the guys telling you your carbon footprint is too big fly to Davos in private jets.
ALSO: finally a Contractor that think of the environment. Impressive. Thank you
I finally bought some CA glue and was looking for the correct way to apply it and look my favorite Carpenter painter did a vid. Your environmental concerns are responsible. Totally off topic but most envionmentally concerned, Earth conscious people have this perception that humanity is one continuous time line and so they are really concerned with preserving the Earth. But research has revealed that Civilizations have existed for millions of years. There are Cities found underwater , and also prehistoric underground tunnels that go for miles. Society has gone from very advanced to very primitive and restarted over again a few times now. The Earth will continue but we will reset.
When your on the job, you don't have time to wait 24 hours for the wood glue to dry. Use the CA glue, finish the job, get paid and start a new one. It's going to be nailed anyways.
CA glue is great for quick positive attachment of trims and moldings, particularly in hard to reach places. Once in place, trims are not generally subjected to many stresses. Other wood working projects, such as cabinets and drawers are subject to various stresses and vibrations so a much stronger bond is required. For these applications, wood glues will almost always outperform CA glues and clamping pressure increases the penetration of wood glues. The other obvious factor is cost. I use CA glues very sparingly because of their high cost. Sometimes use a few dabs of CA glue in combination with wood glue for accurate positioning before clamping. A $25 gallon of Titebond II wood glue will glue up hundreds of times more board feet of wood than $25 worth of CA glue.
TIP: a spritz of water will accelerate CA glue
Ben, because we can't gauge how much force you are actually physically applying to break these joints, in the future if you used a hunting/fishing type scale and screwed these to a wall stud, you could incrementally hang weight on them until the joint broke to get a relatively scientific result.
Accelerator is pretty expensive. It's much cheaper to just buy nail polish remover or a pint of acetone at Walmart. Accelerator is nothing but acetone. No other additives. And then you can use it to separate your fingers when you glue them together. It seems strange it will set the glue and also dissolve it, but accelerator is acetone.
I’ve built full 9’ long, 13” tall opening header details with 1x4 and 1/8 finished plywood using ONLY CA glue laying on a garage floor, and installing in one piece in minutes. The stuff ROCKS! Except when you don’t line up your parts right the first time.
First ever ca vs. wood glue video I’ve ever seen. You’ve done a great job! Your tests were practical and informative. Seems like both glues require good technique. Thanks for the great vid!!
Great analysis on the two glues. No one else has done this test to my knowledge and I’ve always wondered about it- Thanks
I've used CA glue for a few years. I do a ton of trim work and this has been the best thing since sliced bread. The true value of the ca glue is being able to meet your seems perfectly before you install them. This allows you to wrap corners before hand and get perfect corners.
I was watching thinking the exact same thing you brought up at the end. The environmental cost over convenience. I’m glad you brought it up. And I totally agree I’d use CA glue but prefer to use more traditional glues
I used ca glue and accelerator for my mdf trim in basement 20 years ago - no issues whatsoever. Never budged!
I feel like I have to say this, I'm not a carpenter or a builder or anything like that, but I love your videos and stuff so keep 'em coming 😊
"There's about a BILLION CA versus wood glue videos out there and mine is by no means going to be one of the best ones."
Mate considering your footprints isn’t something most people think of.
Hey Ben I have a couple tips for the CA glue. Keep some acetone on hand to clean up excess and remove it from your fingers. You dont HAVE to use the accelerator if you have more a few minutes to let the CA glue dry it will have more time to soak in more. And baking soda will also kick off the CA glue. I really enjoy the videos you do testing and comparing different methods!
You can put wood glue on most of the joint for long term hold, and a bit of CA glue on the left over part of the joint for a quick short term grab. This technique works with other materials and glues too.
