How do you separate surfaces bonded with Titebond construction adhesives?
Heating is generally the best way to separate or dismantle joints made with any of our construction adhesives. Although many adhesives gradually weaken as the temperature rises, 65°C or above may be required to achieve the desired result. A heat gun is well suited to this task.
Which adhesive is best for foam board?
When a project involves foam board, be aware that some construction adhesives contain solvents that can attack the foam. Provantage Foamboard and Titebond GREENchoice Heavy Duty Construction are recommended for bonding foam board to a porous surface. Do not use these products to bond foam to a non-porous surface, as they will not dry properly. For that application, Titebond Premium Polyurethane Construction is recommended.
Which adhesive should be used to install bath surrounds?
Titebond Provantage Tub Surround is generally recommended for installing bath surrounds, although Titebond GREENchoice Heavy Duty Construction is also suitable. Both products require a porous wall surface. The surface must not be painted or primed, and any existing paint or ceramic tiles must be removed so the adhesive can dry.
Which adhesive should I use for metal?
Titebond Heavy Duty and PROvantage Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive are the best choices for metal. Titebond GREENchoice Heavy Duty Construction may also be suitable where high strength is not essential. The surface to which the metal is bonded must be porous and unpainted so these products can dry. For metal bonded to a non-porous surface, Titebond Premium Polyurethane Construction can be used.

Which Titebond construction adhesive is best for mirrors?
Titebond Heavy Duty Construction and Titebond VOC-compliant Heavy Duty Construction are the best choices for installing glass mirrors.

Regardless of the adhesive used, mechanical fixings are important for heavy mirrors or mirrors installed in public buildings.
How long do Titebond construction adhesives take to dry?
Our water-based products reach maximum strength in 24–72 hours in warm, dry conditions, but need several additional days in cool, damp conditions. Polyurethane products reach maximum strength in 24–48 hours in warm, humid conditions, but need several days in dry conditions. Solvent-based PROvantage products develop between one-third and one-half of their strength overnight regardless of conditions, but need
a week or more to reach maximum strength.
Can Titebond construction adhesives be used outdoors?
Yes, most of our construction adhesives are designed for outdoor use, although most exterior applications also require mechanical fixings. None of our construction adhesives is recommended for underwater use or continuous immersion.
