Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue

Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue is the first one-part, water-cleanup wood glue proven to be truly waterproof. Passing the demanding ANSI/HPVA Type I water-resistance specification, it's the ultimate choice for both interior and exterior applications — from laminating pen blanks and bowl staves to outdoor furniture and marine-adjacent projects. Safer than traditional waterproof glues, it's non-toxic, solvent-free, and cleans up with water.
