<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4385988, member: 6444&quot;]Hide glue is my goto glue, though I also use Titebond carpenter 1, exterior 3, even epoxy depending on what I am gluing. Hide glue is largely ignored these days, but it is incredibly good glue - I have 250 year old furniture that was glued with it and it is STILL holding. And 100 year old drums that are still perfectly round even with all the tension they are under. Most of the furniture I repair is old enough to have used it originally, so it is automatically the best choice in my opinion. Plus I hate removing carpenter glue when undoing old repairs - it is quite hard to remove, unlike hide glue which only needs to be soaked in water. There was even some carpenter glue used in an old repair on this bookshelf that I had to remove with the paint, though luckily not that much.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here is a pic of the shelf unit in place, sorry it isn&#039;t at its best. Partially loaded with stuff I&#039;m afraid, but still too much for me to unload it and take it outside for better quality pics. You&#039;ll see I left the wood as it is without trying to fill the shallow cracks - I&#039;m perfectly fine with old wood looking like old wood - in fact I prefer it that way!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]368667[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
