Total Assembly Time
10-15 minutes (70°F./50%RH)
Minimum Required Spread
Approximately 6 mils or 250 square feet per gallon
Required Clamping Pressure
Enough to bring joints tightly together (generally, 100-150 psi for softwoods, 125-175 psi for medium woods and 175-250 psi for hardwoods)
Method of Application
Plastic bottles for fine applications; glue may also be spread with a roller spreader or brush.
Cleanup

Limitations
Titebond II Premium Wood Glue is not for continuous submersion or for use below the waterline. Not for structural or load bearing applications. Do not use when temperature, glue or materials are below 55°F. Due to low pH, product may cause corrosion on metal surfaces, test product before using where rusting/corrosion may be of concern. Freezing may not affect the function of the product but may cause it to thicken. Agitation should restore product to original form. Because of variances in the surfaces of treated lumber, it is a good idea to test for adhesion. For best results gluing exotic or oily woods, such as Ipe and Teak, please Franklin's Technical Support Team at 1-800-347-4583. Read MSDS before use.
