Elmer's Ultimate Glue

Elmer's Ultimate Glue
Overall Rating: 9/10

Acquired July 2006


Overview
:
I bought a small bottle of Elmer's Ultimate Glue last September just to have around the house. You never know when you'll need a really strong glue, and it's usually not when you have plenty of time to run out and buy some.

Upside:
This glue really does work well. I recently used it to reinforce my keyboard tray. After it hardened, I noticed that it has expanded just slightly and worked its way even further within the crack in the wood. I was
extremely impressed by this, as it made for a bond that was all the stronger.

Downside:
There's a fairly strong odor to this glue. You'll be best off using it in a well-ventilated room or even outdoors. Also, it requires chemicals to clean up when wet, and sandpaper (or scraping) when dry.

Specifications:
Elmer's Ultimate Glue is good for bonding almost any kind of material, and accepts paint and stain when dry:

  • Interior or exterior use
  • Water Proof
  • Bonds Virtually Any Material
  • Paint It Or Stain It
  • Solvent Free
  • Industrial Strength
  • Made in the USA
Verdict: I highly recommend this glue. It works as advertised, and was even easy to unclog the spout after months of sitting unused (usually fatal for glue bottles).
