Titebond II Premium – water-resistant D3 wood glue for furniture making, repair and interior and exterior joinery.
Product properties and application
Titebond II Premium is a water-resistant D3 wood glue for interior and exterior use. Designed for furniture making and repair, outdoor benches, bird boxes, letterboxes, planters and other wood products. Strong initial tack and fast setting help align components precisely and shorten clamping time.
Impressive bond strength of approximately 263.7 kg/cm². In the manufacturer's ASTM D905 test on hard maple joints at room temperature, Titebond II Premium achieved a shear strength of 3750 psi (approximately 25.9 MPa).

Water resistance and applications. Titebond II Premium meets ANSI Type II water-resistance test requirements. Suitable for interior and exterior wood products, including outdoor furniture, benches and bird boxes.
Machining and finishing. The cured glue line sands easily and is suitable for subsequent finishing. To achieve an even finish, remove glue residue from visible surfaces: wipe uncured glue with water or a damp cloth, and scrape or sand off cured glue.
Production and food contact. Suitable for radio-frequency (R-F) and hot-press bonding systems. The manufacturer states compliance with US FDA requirements for indirect food contact, such as wooden chopping boards.
Non-toxicity and safe use. The manufacturer's brochure describes Titebond II Premium as non-toxic. It conforms to ASTM D-4236, with a manufacturer-stated VOC content of less than 4 g/l. Uncured glue cleans up with water. Avoid eye contact and prolonged skin contact: the product may irritate eyes and skin. Do not swallow, keep out of children's reach and follow the Safety Data Sheet instructions.
Application limitations. Not intended for continuous immersion in water or use below the waterline. Its low pH may corrode metal surfaces, so test first where relevant. Check adhesion when bonding preservative-treated timber; consult the supplier about exotic or oily woods such as ipé and teak. Protect from freezing. Shaking may help restore glue thickened by freezing, but check its condition before use.
Not intended for structural bonding of load-bearing building components. If proposed for a joint with additional mechanical fixings, the suitability of that arrangement must be assessed by the structural designer.
*Strength measured to ASTM D905, bonding maple to maple at approximately +21 °C (3750 psi). Assembly times are given at +21 °C and 50 % relative humidity. Actual results depend on the timber, surface preparation and bonding conditions.
