If you're working with wood and have not tried Tightbond III, do
yourself a favor and give it a try. (HF also carries the half-pint
size for $5.00.)

Is this stuff waterproof? Is it a urethane glue like Gorilla,
which I've read has a foaming action that fills gaps but also allows
the absorption of water?
Nothing off-topic about HF. Most of us are addicted, I think,
to these places. We don't have HF in Canada that I know of but we have
Princess Auto, which has all the same stuff. Many of the tools we buy
from them now are every bit as good as average-quality North American
tools of 30 years ago and cost a fraction of the price. Us older guys
remember never having enough tools or the money for tools and so we
are fatally tempted by master marketers like these guys. And I like
the no-hassle return policy of Princess when you end up with something
that's just no good.

Titebond III is a waterproof PVA glue (aka white glue). I've done test
strips with it, Gorilla Glue, and T-88. The results were indistinguishable
in my testing. My tests were pretty simple - pull tests to evaluate shear
and tensile strength of samples that were dry, wet, or still hot and wet
from being boiled in water.

That said, I've been using T-88 on my Hatz Classic. It costs more and can
only be sourced at special stores, so it must be better, right? Seriously,
I'm old school. I typically use time tested products.

Oh, yeah. I was at HF today. Got a tool stand for $19 bucks. Once I add a
plywood top and some properly spaced mounting holes, it will be the platform
for my belt sander, drum sander, planer, or whatever tool deserves to be
bolted down for a while.
