question about Titebond 3
3/16/24
Hi, new to this forum. Just was looking for advice on adhesives to use for outdoor furniture that are prebuilt but just need to be assembled. I have seen Titebond 3 used on regular wood with good results for outdoors that get a lot of sun and salty air. But the ones I'm assembling are similar to Trex wood or some kind of engineered wood that I have no experience in the past so not sure of what type of adhesive to use.

Trex is not wood. It is a PVC product with some material, perhaps wood dust, blended in. I don't believe any adhesive other than a PVC cement is going to adhere to it.

Oh, if its trex type stuff, forget it. Mechanically fastened only.
As an aside tb3 is shite as a water resistant glue.

Using a high-quality polyurethane adhesive will help ensure strong and durable bonds for your outdoor furniture assembly, even with engineered wood materials like Trex.
