Title: Aliphatic resin glues
Post by: Kim Mortimore on November 05, 2010, 01:30:40 AM

Does anyone know if all aliphatic resin glues are yellow like Titebond, or is there a brand that is white or clear?  Thanks.

"White glue" like Elmer's is aliphatic resin; I have no clue how strong it is compared to the yellow glues.

Sig used to have a white aliphatic glue, and may still.

Besides modelling I used to do a lot of work with wooden boats and used Titebond quite a bit along with a lot of West System epoxy.  Both were staples in shops for projects that I worked on.  The "Original" Titebond which is pale yellow in color is an "Aliphetic Resin" glue.  Another that modellers use is the old SIG Bond glue.  The Titebond II glue is a "Polyvinyl Acetate" glue and is just a strong and seems to dry a bit faster.  It is also water soluable like the original Titebond.  The newest offering is Titebond III which is a "proprietary polimer" glue.  I've never used it but judging by Titebond past quality, I'm sure it is a good product but not sure about modellers needs.

Sig's Weld Bond is a liquid resin glue. It is white but drys clear. It says it's dope proof.
