Can we talk glue?

Another vote for titebond.  My brotherin law is a finish carpenter and he swares by the stuff.  Just keep a damp shop towel handy and when it runs just wipe it up.  Don't wait for it to dry.  It cleans up much easier when wet.

I used LocTite Power Grab and I couldn't be more pleased with how it works.  It's sticky but not runny when applied (it goes on like caulk), and dries rock-solid.

Home Depot carries it.  I think it was around $8.

I used regular wood glue and clamps to assemble my cocktail cabinet.  It is unbelievably solid.  If I ever dropped it or something I think the wood would fail before the glue at the joints - it's that strong.

Do you think that the stain will soak into the wood and wreck the glue bond? :dizzy:

Nope.  I stained mine and the joints are as strong as ever.
