Tools and Hardware Reviews of Franklin International 1321 Titebond MP75 Polyurethane Hot Melt
Customer Review: Titebond MP75 DOES glue anything to anything
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to add reinforcement to a cam-lock style of assemble-yourself cabinet I was putting together. Basically, I just glued each edge, and tightened the camlocks. You do have about 45 seconds of open time, which is enough to get everything positioned. The surfaces being glued together were MDF and Melamine. This stuff bonds really well to both. I made a mistake, and tried pulling 2 pieces apart after 2 minutes, and no dice. A rubber mallet would not separate the 2. The one thing I have found is that you really need to make sure this stuff is good and hot for it to flow. If you put a new stick in a hot gun, you still need to let it get hot for the recommended 12 minutes, regardless of the green/red indicator light. Other than that, it works perfectly. It's expensive, but worth it if you need a good glue joint on non-porous surfaces.Customer Review: Works, but expensive
Summary: 3 Stars
This 'glue' works well, but is way too expensive. I had two prior tubes dry up to where they couldn't be used anymore despite the fact that there was about 50% left in the tube. And I always put the cap back on when it's still hot and always squeeze out a little extra to get the air out. All in all, you'll probably find this whole system to be way too expensive unless you have a large project where you can use up all the tubes of glue prior to the tubes clogging up. If you need to store a used tube for an extended period of time then it'll probably be unusable when you need it.Customer Review: Doesn't live up to claims
Summary: 1 Stars
I have tried to use this extensively for about one year. I have spoken several times to the company about defective glue cartridges that heat up but do not flow. Approximately 50-60% of the cartridges prove to be defective. They shipped me box of new cartridges but over 50% of those were defective. They later offered a new replacement model at a 10% discount, but given their admission that the gun was defective should have prompted a greater discount or free exchange on their part.
Additionally, the joints are not nearly as strong as using any of the other Titebond glues.
A serious amateur carpenter, and certainly a professional carpenter should wait until this product is improved. Presently it is defective and clearly a work in progress.
Customer Review: Glue works, Gun doesn't
Summary: 1 Stars
Well over a year ago, I purchased the HiPurformer kit that is overpriced at $100. At the cost of the glue tubes, they should give you the gun. Anyway, I needed some kind of super glue and this seemed like it was it. The glue does work and is excellent for trim where you really can't screw or nail or air nail. Problem is, the gun no longer feeds. I read reviews about this before I bought this kit - the feed mechanism breaks and then the whole thing is useless. The guy at the Woodcraft store where I bought my kit said that two had been returned for this problem. Nevertheless, I bought the kit and it worked well and I didn't force the plunger. A year later, it doesn't feed. The plunger works okay, nothing looks broken, but the glue doesn't flow no matter how long I let it heat up. I sent an email to the company for help but they didn't reply. So, in reality, it cost me about $25 per tube rather than the 6 to $8 they charge for it. Good idea, poor execution. Go for it if you don't mind throwing the whole thing away after you use it.Customer Review: ...Wow...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a trim carpenter and I was leery about using this product for professional applications, but was proved wrong instantly. I needed to twist hand painted crown to match the sheetrock ceiling and keep the same reveal on the cabinets..with no nails. I used this product and was amazed. If you are familiar with a caulk gun, you will have no trouble using this product. I was worried about the reviews concerning the glue going bad after two weeks, but I used it up on many things that I wanted to use no mechanical fastsners on. I am sold, possibly not for the little job if the compliants about the life of open glue are true, but worth every penny to me. I had to break one joint with a hammer and ended up splitting the wood...after it set up for twenty minutes. This stuff is for real.
