I had been using II, but I went back to Original because it is a lot easier
to wipe the glue excess from the wood surface with a damp cloth or sponge
and not have as much problem with glue showing up in the stain or finish.
II is much less forgiving.

T2 is more expensive.

you must have never set eyes on Extend, Bill. It isn't II with added
water. It looks different; kinda like pancake batter. I'm waiting for
a replacement gallon because my first gallon of Extend won't stick for
crap. Tried it 5 times and haven't been able to keep anything together
with it.

I use Titebond II for everything, no need to have two glues. As for Extend
according to Franklin by adding water to the glue you extend its open time.
From what I can see that is what they did with Extend. Just use the Titebond
II and add a little water when you have a complicated glueup.

have two types around.
If you are building for interior use original is fine. If you use II for
everything, remember II won't wash out of your pants, off of your shirt,
etc.

Actually I had a container of it and it was much thinner than the regular
glue and I found it settled to the bottom easily. I also didn't see much
difference in open time. Now I use Gorilla for longer working time.

Cannot think of any reason to have both. Have about 1/2 gal of
Titebond II in the shop, along with epoxy and urethane glue, will
likely go to TiteBond III when I use up the TII

so how is II working for you for outdoor projects? I thought it's
merely water resistant; NOT waterproof. Titebond III is supposed to be
waterPROOF.

My wife thinks I am crazy for tan canvas seat covers on our furniture. Last
time around, we got a dark green kind of velvety crap that even shows black dog
hair. I don't mind it showing dog hair. It's the sawdust, sanding dust and glue
that I prefer she not see.

We usually have between 3-5 cats (push sticks) at any given time. My
wife bought Ethan Allen chairs that are WHITE with gold embroidered
stars. Beautiful chairs, and the cats love hairing them up!

Maybe 5 years ago, my wife bought me a really great recliner, in dark green
plush. After we moved to WV, it wasn't in its accustomed spot, so our cat-sized
dog decided it was hers. We unfortunately let her get away with it for a long
time, but I've got my chair back now and she sleeps in a box on the floor (with
pillow, afghan, whatever else she needs...I mean, what the hell, you gotta
treat them right).

My dog has a glider rocker. I always know she's close at hand by the
squeaks the thing makes.

What, you didn't build in a canister vacuum into the bottom
of the seat? Just drop the door, pull out the hose, kick
the switch, and the couch is clean in seconds.

Me too, FWIW. I don't really need water resistance anyway, and I use
Original pretty exclusively. It's easier to work with IMHO, and a bit
cheaper to boot.

Same here. Plus, I'm kind-of a slob, and spent too many years wiping
the excess glue off on my shirt or jeans. With II, it never comes out.

I certainly hope not, I use II only. Never could think of any good reason to
have two types around.
