You'll get quite a few instruments out of a 470ml Jake.

Titebond I is my choice of glues along with LMI's white glue. I chuck the bottle after 6 months and get a new one so the stuff is always fresh.

Hi Jake

I'm sure some will say....eeeerrrrrrggggghhhhh but I use Selleys Polyaliphatic now. It works good and is made in the suburb (Padstow, Sydney) I grew up in.

Just get the small bottle Jake.

It has a shelf life, and you will never get through the big jug of it before its no good for instruments. Probably all right for general glue ups of cabinetry. My bottle never sits around longer than 6 months without being used up.
