> Hey Mark
>   Couple of random thoughts.
> Which Elmers and which Titebond?
> In a race to say their one part polyvinyl glue is totally waterproof, 
> Gorilla, Elmers and Titebond have all released glues that do not last 
> very long on the shelf.
>  I think its tradeoff making the totally waterproof glue.
>
>  Old yellow glue is waterproof in cold water. But that wasn't enough 
> for current marketing.   Old yellow glue (Elmer's carpenters and 
> Titebond11) lasts for many years on the shelf.
>
>   Say, uh........... what were you doing in a box store anyway?
>  And you went there twice?   And with a concern about quality?
> These places care for nothing but price. They hustle sawmills for 
> lowest cost, period. Quality is not on the table.  Nothing but cost 
> matters to a warehouse store.
>
>   Last time I was in one, I toured the whole store and was generally 
> revolted.  I remember buying a couple spray cans of Rustoleum and 
> wondering if even this was second quality? Everything else I saw there 
> was second quality.
>
>  I hear that even John Deere and Troybuilt make specific second 
> quality goods to sell in these places.  Only a few dollars less to 
> buy, but years less in performance.
>
>  Finally, how bad is the top really?
>  Can you see it riding by on a fast horse?
>  Can you see the defects underneath a pile of chisels and a few sheets 
> of sandpaper, 4 planes and a couple quarts of stain?
>   You do realize that once you install this bench in the shop you will 
> likely never see the top again?
>  This is the way it works.
>    I expect this bench top will be fine.
