Damn strong. I've seen this ad before and I seriously have some doubts if the tests were equal.

I use Red Lable Titebond and gelatine glue. I try not to use ANY PVA glues. They are prone to creep and are plastic in nature. I use Titebond original is what I use for joints that I might not need to remove later. I prefer hide glue to anything else

Here are some great links on glue I found:
OBrien Guitars - Luthier Tips du Jour - Glues Part I
OBrien Guitars - Luthier Tips du Jour - Glues Part II

Here's one of our many glue related threads: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/what-kind-of-glue-do-you...

Above all DO NOT USE GORILLA GLUE. It expands which is not what you want.

Today I attended a workshop on violin repair and had my first experience with hide glue (powdered). I was amazed at how thin and easy to use it was. I plan to start experimenting with it more. I currently use Titebond III but hate fighting to keep the wood from sliding around. Great article though. Very interesting.
Thanks for the links and the helpful information. I'm just at the gluing neck to box stage and was unsure what type of glue I should consider on my first attempt at a stick dulcimer. I have a few options now and appreciate your comments and warnings. Regards. Steve Martin
