what pump to use?

[Albert Lee]

Bought a 55 gallon of Titebond 50 glue yesterday.

now the question is how do I get them out of the drum? been looking at drum pumps but there are so many, I wonder if there is one specifically designed for glue? will any drum pump work?

At the cannery the 275 gallon totes where up on a stand with a ball valve on the bottom. Open the valve and let it flow out into a bucket. close valve and place a can under it to catch the drips. I think the valve was PVC or stainless steel. You might look for fuel tank valves to place the barrel horizontal.

How long until you use it up? It is my understanding that regular Titebond does not have an indefinite shelf life.

every month I use 1-2 of the 5 gallon bucket. so a 55 gallon should last me 6-12 months.

Albert, drop by your local bulk oil distributor. There you will probably find a stand and valve. The valve goes in the bung, and the stand let’s you tip the barrel horizontal. The ones at my shop are then at the perfect height for a 5 gal pail to fit.

I bought a 55 gal drum of Anchor seal from UC coatings. I found a valve to fit the drum bung a a local supply house. I built a sturdy stand from 2x PT pine to hold it horizontal, used gravity instead of a pump.

thank you all, I managed to find a second hand pump locally for $10. works pretty good, hoping mad the glue inside the pump wont dried up next time I use it.

You might try an air operated diaphragm pump. They come in various sizes and pump almost anything and are pretty easy to clean.

The glue in the spout of that pump above the pump valves will dry out. At least rubber band a plastic bag over the opening of the spout when done. Use. a baggie or a condom.

Looks like he's got it capped with duct tape.
