Allegedly, it can be used to glue wood but it never seems to make it on to the wood. Wood Glue: A yellow colored glue used to dull sandpaper and create deep marks in the wood as you try to remove it with chisels. Best used by slopping it all over your project, as noted rec.woodworking member JazzWoman or maybe his buddy Noel says, "Wood glue should be a significant portion of your project costs." Contact Cement: A smelly efficient glue used to permanently join two pieces at the wrong spot. After a few hours of breathing the vapors (who reads the warnings?) you won't care and will probably head in to the computer to post a message containing only a single letter. Latex Paint: This doesn't look like a glue, but if you've ever tried opening windows that have been painted shut you know it really is! As to how they work: reasonably well with a little care.
