Have you used all-weather glue outdoors, and if so what kind?

Asked by canidmajor (21573points) June 19th, 2019

I have an exterior project, wood to wood (not new or pristine wood) that needs to withstand heat, humidity, rain, snow, ice, and temperatures that range from 10° to 95°F. Does anybody have personal experience? It’s not an important project, nobody dies if it’s not done perfectly. I have researched a certain amount, but I’d like personal experience answers, please.

Thanks

Liquid Nail might be a good product. It usually comes in a caulking tube, do will require a caulking gun.

I’ve only used it in my region (America South.) So. I know that it works in high temperatures, and humid conditions, but can’t speak for it’s durability in 10°... it it’s probably good at that temperature too.

I was going to suggest some kind of caulk. Silicone caulk which is used on bathrooms is what I was thinking of.

@MrGrimm888, thanks! I just looked it up and it comes in a small project size, which is more appropriate than full caulking size.

I’ve used Gorilla Glue with real good luck. Glued wood panels inside a utility trailer, temp goes from 0* F to 145* F (in the sun in North Carolina)..

@Tropical_Willie: Are the panels exposed to rain and stuff?

@canidmajor . You’re welcome. I hope it works, and I didn’t let you down…

No @canidmajor but Gorilla Glue is activated by moisture. so more water shouldn’t affect it.

It goes into the wood, just make should the wood to wood has no big gaps

If you are glueing wood to wood nothing is better than wood glue. Titebond, gorilla..any of it.

Which is why I asked for personal experience and personal recommendations.
