I have noticed some people are still having trouble knowing what kind of glue or adheasive to use. All glues have their reasons, and types of jobs they are good for. (Sorry Captian English.)
Elmors Glue- (The white kind) It dries brittle, so it is not recommended for building frames. If the frame it bumped, the glue will let go. (Nice temporary glue.) Also, if it dries on the outside of a frame, water will not wash it off. Once it dries, it is dry.
Elmors Wood Glue- (The yellow glue) It dries flexible, and is very strong. It is designed for fixing thinge like chairs, and kids projects. Ok for building frames, but still not recommended.
Hot Glue- (Both the crafts store, and Hardware kinds) It is designed to melt when hot. (IE:Hot glue) If you use it in frameing, and then the customer hanges it near a fireplace, or heat vent, it might remelt. Not recomended for framing. (I don't even recomend it for crafts anymore. Too many wreaths falling apart on front doors.)
Cornerweld glue is designed to join frames. It dries flexible, and is water soluble, so it cleans up quickly with water.
Now there are new Hot melt glues that "Cure" and do not remelt with aditional heat. Good for joining frames... but don't make any mistakes.
