Dewalt - I'd been using TBII for gluing fins and fillets, but fillets always came out wavy/lumpy due to uneven evaporation while drying. I just recently started using the TB Quick & Thick for fillets and am very impressed with the results so far (prior to primer/paint). I had to order it through Amazon though. I couldn't find it in two different big box stores in two different cities!

For fillets I use Titebond No Run, No Drip (says Trim and Molding on label as well). My last bottle was called "Trim and Molding Glue"). I read about the Quick and Thick and it has virtually the same description. The glue guys are as bad as the paint guys -- more formulations and name changes than you can keep up with! But I'm assuming yours works like mine. It's Thick, meaning no runs, and Quick (drying). It also is unaffected by lacquer-based primers and paint. The big box stores don't carry most of these specialty formulations. I buy mine at woodworking stores.

Your results have convinced me, I ordered sealer and thinner. I had really been dragging my feet on using CWF on my Black Widow clone.

Thank you T-J and Lee for the tips.

CWF never did work for me, but I sure do like that it is odor free. I tried TB molding glue for fillets and did not really like it so back to Elmers glue all. As far as general building glue Elmers Glue all works great but a little slow on dry time. The best white glue out there by far is Titebond Translucent wood glue.
