What's the best glue to use on MDF? I've used regular 'ol titebond, but thats seems pretty weak. Anything better besides Poly? Its just so foamy and stinky, i'd like to avoid it if possible. Thanks -j. |

I've used titebond without problems, althgough I've seen contact cement reccomended. Has to be said that I tend to 'glue and screw' my MDF jigs, although my simply glued together radius dishes (2 22mm thick disks) have held together fine now for, um, 3 years or so. |

I use Titebond AR (original and III) on MDF for making up jigs and other MDF to MDF joints. Most of the workboards I use are MDF and glued up with Titebond. For large itemes I use screws as well mainly to hold things together untill glue sets. |

I second Titebond and screws. I would bet that most any wood glue is stronger than the bond between the fibers of MDF, so if it is structural I always predrill and screw the parts as well as glue. Al |

If you are gluing a surface that has been cut, like a dado or on edge, coat the surface with glue first and let it dry. Once its dry you can glue the two surfaces together. The "open" area will suck up the glue and could possibly starve your joint. If you are doing some sort of joint, it is always best to reinforce with screws. |
