Trademark The moment has long been recognized and in demand in different areas construction. Clay Moment Joiner is no exception. PVA glue from famous brand It is produced in different volumes and is often used specifically for carpentry work.
Clay Moment Joiner
The adhesive composition Joiner PVA universal has a number of distinctive features, among them:
- It sets quickly, which is why it is often called express composition. At room temperature it needs no more than 10-15 minutes; if the room is warmer, the materials will stick together faster.
- PVA Moment – heat-resistant. That is, it can be used in conditions high temperatures. In carpentry, this is necessary when creating a veneered surface. In the process of creating a veneer coating, it must be ironed with an iron or other heated surface.
- Another one distinguishing feature the adhesive composition is its strength. By following the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the use of Moment, you can get a truly strong connection. Its properties of high-quality bonding of materials remain the same for a long period.
- Another important aspect– Moment Joiner glue for wood is colorless, that is, it will not be noticeable at the seams between the parts being glued.
Materials
The adhesive composition Moment is successfully used:
- Any wood.
- Chipboard, plywood.
- Veneer.
- Facing.
- Cardboard.
- Accessories.
Convenient tube of glue Flaws
This super composition It still has its drawbacks, including:
- Its moisture resistance is weak, that is, it perfectly glues wood and other similar materials, provided that they are used indoors, then the strength is really high. A short-term increase in wood humidity up to 18% is allowed.
- Wood glue Moment is not frost-resistant. It must not be stored in sub-zero temperature, and it is not recommended to carry out work on gluing surfaces even at +10⁰ and below.
- Such adhesives are used to hold plastic together, but it does not work on all such surfaces. Although the instructions do not indicate this, it is recommended to carry out a test gluing.
Instructions for use
In order for the strength of the adhesive to be high, it is necessary to follow the rules for using wood glue and wood materials Moment Joiner. Order:
- Processing of workpieces - burrs, dust, and shavings should be removed from the surface. The planes, including those for veneer coating, must be properly sanded. Parts must be carefully adjusted.
- Afterwards you can open the container with glue. It should be applied to both surfaces thin layer. To distribute as evenly as possible, you can use a special brush.
- After application, leave the glue to initially gain strength for 10-15 minutes.
- After the specified period, connect the parts together. In order for everything to go well, it is better to make connecting grooves in advance.
- The glue dries within 24 hours. After this, you can remove any remaining glue by cutting it off.
Method of use Conclusion
Special adhesive for carpentry from the manufacturer Moment will help carry out repair work or create new furniture at the highest level. It makes carpentry work easier.

Wood glue is intended for joining parts made of paper, cardboard, wooden planks, bars, hardboard. The material is inexpensive, safe, and has a natural composition.
Compound
The basis of wood glue, the main agent is animal protein.
Depending on the type of raw material, there are glues:
- fleshy,
- fishy,
- bone,
- casein,
- polyvinyl acetate (PVA),
- moisture resistant.
All types are used for carpentry work.
Mezdrovy
The main active ingredient is obtained by processing animal skin. Protein is the subcutaneous layer without fatty tissue. It contains oligopeptides. They contain cysteine, which forms bonding bridges for reliable connection of parts.
Hide wood glue is produced in the form:
- powder,
- tiles,
- scales.
Isinglass
Fins, scales, and swim bladders are used to produce fish glue. The result is a solution suitable for gluing similar and dissimilar surfaces. The only drawback- high price. Glue is produced in the form of dry flakes and granules.
Bone
Made from the bone remains of animals. Contains:
- collagen,
- gelatin,
- cysteine.
These substances are viscous and reliably glue the surfaces of wooden products. The price of the material is low. You should choose transparent compounds: they are better than unrefined, cloudy, with impurities.
Casein
Includes:
- casein,
- kerosene,
- copper sulfate,
- sodium fluoride,
- slaked lime.
Flaws:
- Significant shrinkage in volume.
- Change in color of bonded surfaces.
- The prepared solution has a short shelf life of several hours.
Holds wood parts together well.
The raw materials for preparing casein adhesive solution are available in the form of dry powder.
PVA
PVA glue is used in carpentry and other areas. The solution is sold ready-made.
Characteristics:
- elasticity,
- reliable grip,
- transparent layer,
- stability of the finished seam.
PVA adhesives vary in properties. Some are waterproof and quick drying.
Moisture resistant
A waterproof solution for gluing wood can be prepared from slaked lime and freshly curd cottage cheese. The components are mixed in certain proportions to a working consistency.
How to prepare the mixture
To prepare the working material, take ready-made grain, dry powders, tiles, granules. They are carefully crushed and diluted warm water according to instructions. Wait for the active components to swell. Then they use it. Store in a hermetically sealed container. All formulations, except casein, retain adhesive properties for several days.
The cooking method is described in the instructions on the package.. Mixtures from different manufacturers may differ in composition. Consistency matters. The description of the specific glue indicates the required amount of water. It is designed to produce a mixture of a certain viscosity. If a more liquid material is needed for work, the liquid is added in small portions, and the paste is thoroughly mixed each time.
Before gluing the surfaces to each other, they are cleaned and degreased. Then a thin layer of solution is applied to one of the parts and the surfaces are pressed. To increase the effect, a weight is placed on top; it prevents the workpieces from moving apart. Gluing occurs in 2–3 hours, drying in 2–3 days. Exact date and the conditions are stated in technical specifications each composition.
Modern synthetic based adhesives
Often used ready-made adhesives industrial production: Titebond, “Moment”, “Titan”.
Titebond (from 200 rub., 0.296 l.)
Glue for Titebond wood The American company Franklin International is used in the production of plywood furniture, floor coverings made of wood, in finishing works wooden products. The composition includes synthetic and natural polymers without solvents. This allows you to get excellent adhesion of surfaces without damaging them.
Titebond II Premium carpentry adhesive is a high-quality replacement for traditional compounds for gluing wood and paper. It is used in the production of door and window blocks, frames, and furniture assembly. This is a composition with high level moisture resistance, can be used for outdoor work, assembling external door and window fillings, attaching decorations to a wooden facade.
The bonding strength reaches the strength of wood. The connection remains intact for many years.
Moment (from 300 rub.)
Wood glue “Moment Super PVA D3” produced by Henkel has a Soviet analogue - DF51/15V. This is a good waterproof adhesive composition used for gluing paper, cardboard, plywood, and other materials of wood origin.
Waterproof PVA is added as a plasticizing agent to concrete solutions to increase the ductility and water resistance of the working mass, the finished stone. The connection with cement mortar increases adhesion to the surface covered with screed or tiles.
The letter D in the name indicates the degree of resistance of the material to water, 3 is a sufficient level. 4 - higher class, used for special works, Expensive.
Titan (from RUB 200 for 500 ml)
Titan glue is universal and reliably glues:
- plastics,
- glass,
- paper,
- tree.
It is often used to make various wooden products.
"Titanium Universal" is a quick-drying adhesive suitable for working with wooden surfaces. It quickly gains strength, reliably connects surfaces without damaging them, and becomes transparent.
Adhesive mastic is suitable for finishing work, gluing wooden beams, boards, sockets.
Liquid nails are also compatible with wood and can be used for finishing and decorative elements.
Selection rules
Necessary:
- Take into account the volume and specifics of the work. When processing large quantities of wood, it is better to give preference to powder semi-finished products due to their low price.
- Pay attention to the characteristics, select a solution based on physical properties.
- Find a glue that has a suitable consistency.
- Carefully read the information on the label and read reviews about the product.
A super prefix added to various products often turns out to be just a marketing ploy, without fundamentally changing anything operational characteristics. Super PVA glue is a product of Soviet industry in the late 80s. True, it was called differently then and was very revolutionary for its time.
From the history
GOST 18992-80, dated 1983, described the requirements and characteristics of a plasticized PVA dispersion, which exactly coincides with the same qualities of a modern product called “adhesive moment Super PVA D3”.
But in the Soviet nomenclature the marking was different - DF51/15V.
After decoding, you can understand that active substance is a highly viscous PVA dispersion, with a volume fraction of 51%. 15% dibutyl phthalate was added as a plasticizer.
Characteristics and purpose
Of all polyvinyl acetate adhesives, Super PVA has the highest adhesive ability, the declared tensile strength is more than 50 kg/cm2. The biological safety characteristics meet increased requirements. Withstands up to 6 freeze/thaw cycles. Adding a plasticizer in such a volume made it easier to mix with water. At the same time, the emulsion does not precipitate.
In descending order, we present the following areas of recommended application:
- tree;
- shoes and leather;
- cardboard;
- printing;
- package;
- repair work.
Yes, it is the tree that comes first. Woodworking companies often choose this glue as their main one.
In Soviet times, DF51/15V was used in the tobacco industry(!).
Adding this glue to cement mortar, improves the waterproofing properties of the screed and increases adhesion when gluing tiles.
To obtain transparent adhesive for polycarbonate, some manufacturers have used a trick. During the manufacturing process, they add ethyl cyanoacrylate to the emulsion. Small quantities This additive increases the optical properties of the adhesive joint, but impairs its elasticity. This product is produced under the brand name super PVA glue moment. But on objective assessment, compared to other polycarbonate adhesives, it only wins in price.
Instructions for use
Precautionary measures should only be taken if you have an allergic reaction to a specific group of repellents. The fact is that the plasticizer, dibutyl phthalate, pure form It is used to repel mosquitoes, and its concentration in PVA glue is super, quite high. To prevent possible redness of the skin on your hands, we recommend using latex gloves. Otherwise, this glue is safe.
To understand how to properly glue with PVA glue, you need to firmly understand the following rules:
- The surfaces to be bonded should not be dusty.
- Degreasing is the key to a quality seam.
- Reliable fixation throughout the day important condition for polymerization.
- Compliance temperature regime- the foundation for successful work.
After mastering the above rules, the instructions are quite simple. Optimal temperature for gluing 18-25°C. Please note that the parts themselves must have this temperature, and not just the air in the room. The surfaces to be bonded must be cleaned of all excess. This is best done with fine sandpaper. Moreover, the use of sandpaper will increase the surface roughness, which leads to an increase in the contact area and thereby improve cohesion.
The cleaned and sanded surface must be wiped with a highly volatile solvent. In addition to degreasing, this procedure will remove dust. The presence of dust sharply reduces the adhesion of glue to the part.
The PVA dispersion is applied in a thin layer to both surfaces and left for 6-8 minutes. During this time, on each part, the glue penetrates into the thickness of the material by several microns and begins the polymerization process. Then the surfaces to be glued are pressed against each other and securely fixed. Please note that, unlike adhesives containing solvents, when working with PVA, the duration of fixation is critical. The minimum time for reliable setting is 24 hours at a temperature of 20-25°C.
Important! Complete polymerization of polyvinyl acetate takes place within 7 days!
Only after this time does the adhesive joint acquire the declared characteristics.
Of course, if you glue cardboard, you don’t have to wait that long. But when working with furniture, compliance with the exposure period is extremely desirable. When gluing wood, carefully following the instructions leads to a paradoxical effect - the adhesive seam of PVA glue is super, it becomes stronger than the product itself. In other words, if the load is exceeded, the wood itself will break, and not the glue seam!
It is best to remove excess glue immediately after application. This can be done with a damp cloth. After drying and complete polymerization, only scraping with a knife or sandpaper. The action of household solvents causes swelling of the polymer film and does not lead to dissolution.
Wood glue has been used since ancient times for gluing wooden, cardboard or paper parts. There are many recipes for adhesives made from natural ingredients, and stores offer industrial substances obtained synthetically. It’s no wonder that people start to get confused and don’t know which wood glue is best to use for wood.
To accurately answer this question, you need to know in what area the substance is planned to be used. For example, compounds used in artistic restoration of furniture are not suitable for gluing modern materials. Therefore, we will talk about the properties and features of the most popular types, but the reader will have to decide which one is better.
Flesh and bone glue - features and scope of application
It is made from the skin and flesh of animals, as well as their bones, and has a particularly strong connection. Comes on sale in the form of granules or powder from yellow to Brown. To obtain an adhesive composition, the granules are mixed with water.
Cooking process
If you prepare wood glue without following the recipe, you will not be able to achieve the desired effect. It is important to adhere to the correct proportion of components and other points. We recommend using our recipe for preparing flesh and bone glue.
The temperature of the glue during cooking should not exceed 70°C, and any foam that appears must be removed. The normal consistency is checked using a wooden spatula - the glue should slowly flow from it in an even, thin and transparent stream.
Application
The scope of application of flesh and bone glue is limited. This is due to low resistance to elevated temperatures, as well as the speed of hardening.
Characteristics:
- time for correction - 1-2 minutes;
- drying time - 30 minutes;
- gluing is reversible after steam treatment;
- resistance to water - low;
- resistance to alcohols is low.
Currently, flesh and bone glue are used in icon painting, as well as in manual production luxury furniture, to facilitate possible restoration. Due to its characteristics, the use of adhesive in baths and saunas is not recommended.
PVA wood glue
The most widely used type of glue that does not require preliminary preparation. Widely used in furniture production, finishing works, construction. It is a creamy mass white. PVA glue is considered harmless to humans.
When working with wood, you can use the following types of glue:
- universal MB - for gluing fabrics or paper to a wooden base;
- super M - for gluing solid wood, chipboard and fiberboard in cases where excessive load is not expected;
- Extra E - for enhanced bonding various materials, including wood.
The properties of PVA wood glue can be studied in the table.
The relatively low cost, combined with the acceptable properties of PVA wood glue, has led to its high popularity. The composition is considered the best for mass production inexpensive furniture, in production wooden doors, window frames, stairs, etc.
"Titebond" - modern glue
A one-component adhesive, similar in composition to PVA, but characterized by higher adhesion performance. Produced in the USA, it is supplied to the Russian market in containers ranging from 250 ml to 20 liters.
Characteristics of Titebond glue:
- operation at temperatures from -30 to 50°C;
- water resistance class D3;
- hardening time - 5-10 minutes;
- complete drying time - 2-3 hours;
- strong adhesive seam.
The scope of application of this brand of glue is extensive: gluing soft and hard wood, including butt joints. It is also possible to attach veneer, plastic, paper, laminate and other materials to wood.
It is advisable to use Titebond wood glue in the production of furniture of medium and high price categories, railings, stairs, complex and expensive wooden elements. When using this composition, you can significantly reduce the pressing time and obtain a more durable seam. According to the manufacturer, Titebond is non-toxic and does not damage the surface of cutting blades.
"Moment Joiner"
Professional wood glue Russian production. The composition is easy to apply to wooden surfaces, if necessary, you can immediately begin processing with varnish or paint. It is supplied to the market in different containers - from 200 ml to 30 liters.
Characteristics of “Moment” wood glue:
- water resistance class D2;
- preservation of properties when heated to 70°C;
- bonding strength - above 8 N/mm²;
- gluing time - 15 minutes;
- normal consumption is 150 g/m².
Most often, Moment Joiner glue is used for gluing decorative elements, small parts, plastic and veneer. Complete drying of the joints occurs 2 hours after applying the composition to the surface.
DIY wood glue - effective recipes
Despite the range of adhesives, some artisans and folk craftsmen prefer to use wood glue own production. If you are one of them, you will find several recipes below.
Strengthened wood glue
Buy dry wood glue in the store, grind it and fill it with water in a 1:1 ratio. Place the mixture in an iron container and heat over low heat until it boils. Once the mixture begins to thicken, pour it into a porcelain mortar and pestle until it reaches a gelatinous consistency. This is a “blank” that needs to be poured onto a plate, cut into pieces and frozen.
To prepare a composition with strong adhesive properties, mix 740 ml of water and 360 ml of vodka. Pour 720 g of the “blank” with the resulting solution and bring to a boil. The resulting glue, according to the experts, surpasses any imported analogues in terms of speed and bonding strength.
Casein glue
Casein glue is now almost forgotten. This is due to the complex recipe. However, in terms of gluing wood, the composition has practically no equal, especially if we're talking about about groove connections. If you make furniture, then try making casein wood glue with your own hands - it is very difficult to find in stores.
The process consists of two stages: isolating casein and preparing glue. Follow our instructions:
- Dissolve 40 g of soda in a liter of water, immerse the cottage cheese in the solution for 20 minutes.
- Remove, rinse, squeeze and dry to a solid consistency - you get casein.
- Grind it to a powder fraction.
- Stirring constantly, slowly add water (proportion 1:2).
- Continue stirring for half an hour until you get a homogeneous mass.
As a result, you will get casein glue. They can be used to glue small wooden parts, or lubricate the grooves. Casein glue is also suitable for shoe repair. Among the disadvantages of this composition, one can note the rapid hardening - 2-3 hours after preparation it will not be possible to use glue.
Let's sum it up
To understand which wood glue is best, you need to have an idea of the planned work. For furniture restoration, icon painting and making baguettes, hide composition is suitable, for mass production of inexpensive furniture - PVA, and for expensive interior items you can use “Titebond”. The main thing is that the cost of the glue is economically justified, and its characteristics are suitable for your purposes.
The most versatile PVA glue for wooden bases of any origin, be it hard wood (oak, ash, beech, walnut, etc.) or veneer, MDF, chipboard is the moment joiner. It is also well suited for gluing leather, fabric, paper and even some types of plastic. That is why it is very popular among both professional workers and home craftsmen. We can say that its versatility has captivated many craftsmen. This heat-resistant, quick-setting, high-strength adhesive composition is widely used for repairing and assembling furniture, gluing laminate, veneer, various accessories and other types construction work. High adhesion is achieved through the use of PVA in the dispersion, as well as various additives, plasticizers and dyes.
Using PVA glue Moment joiner
It should be noted that a strong connection of the glued parts is achieved within the first 5 minutes after pressing. At the junction, an elastic, moisture-resistant seam is formed that is practically not subject to aging. With strict adherence to the instructions for use and operating rules of the product, maximum durability of the adhesive joint is achieved.
Basic instructions for use:
In essence, this is a highly professional composition accessible to any user. Available in convenient packages, from large buckets - 30 kg, to small tubes - 250 g. Small packages are equipped with special caps, which greatly simplifies handling and reduces losses. Adhesive composition from white to yellow tint, medium viscosity.
Glue storage conditions
PVA Moment Joiner must be stored at room temperature, in tightly closed packaging, for no more than 2 years from the date of manufacture. Keep away from high humidity, as well as direct rays of light. When frozen, it loses its properties, so you should not overfreeze it.
