This was very interesting to me in that I was thinking maybe I should switch to Polyurethane glues for better holding.

It looks like it came out at the bottom of the glues. It was almost 1/2 as strong as Titebond III.

So I guess I will stick to good old Titebond III.

Type 1 PVA
Slow set epoxy
PVA
Liquid Hide
Hot Hide
Polyurethane

I think its just members only to get to this.

The article is very good. It served to bolster my confidence in my choice to avoid poly glue as much as possible. Strong or not, it's a real pain to deal with. Easy to apply, unlike having to mix epoxy and such, but the aftermath is annoying. It's just not very user friendly.
