    I think we had two 5 gallon buckets of titebond lll and in 6 years both went bad. We went with other waterproof glues....

    We stopped trusting it and went to polyurethane. If you like it, use it...

    I think the advertised shelf life on Titebond III is 2 years. I usually assume listed shelf life on just about any product is a conservative figure, but when you go to 3X the listed value, that might be asking a lot.

    It was a problem from day one. Difficult to get into a glue bottle,etc. Complicated to work with. We bought a second one and it did the same. These were for exterior tables and poly was too easy in comparison.

    They sat under the table 6 years and finally threw them away.

    Now glues and finishes have a time or pot life but we know that's the manufactures protection and these products last a lot long than that. I've got catalized lacquer that was used two years after it date.

    Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

    Jack I was just trying to figure out what problems you had with it. Not a fan boy of any one brand ,just like to know what works well. Thanks for sharing your experience.
