Summary of 5 Types of Wood Glue
Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) Glue: Common and affordable, PVA is easy to clean, offers strong bonds, and remains pliable over time.
Polyurethane Glue: Water-resistant and moisture-activated, it adheres well to oily woods and end grains without swelling the wood.
Cyanoacrylate (CA) Glue: Fast-drying and strong, CA is ideal for precise applications but has lower shear strength compared to PVA.
Epoxy Glue: Made of resin and hardener, epoxy creates a durable, waterproof bond and fills gaps effectively, with longer curing times yielding stronger bonds.
Hide Glue: The oldest type, made from animal hide, used by traditional woodworkers, offering unique bonding properties.
