Advantages/disadvantages vs. aliphatic glue [like Titebond 1,2,3]
Great stuff. I have used this product [and it's predecessor, Dexabond] for multiple woodworking projects. No problems with glue-joint failure in joints that are under significant mechanical load. Expensive, but the time-saving compared to yellow glue makes up for it. Also, the number of clamps you've got is no longer a limiting factor on what you can accomplish in a given time. For an amateur woodworker like me, trying to fit projects into time available, the 3 minute set/30 minute cure time is great. This can be a drawback if you're trying to do a complicated glue-up that requires repositioning of parts - the label is correct; you've got 3 minutes before the glue has set. Dries transparent. There's really no opportunity to pop the joint apart after that time without breaking the wood. This glue is not gap-filling, nor will it cause any expansion of the joint surfaces. Make joint surfaces precise and very tight, more so than one might when using a water-based [aliphatic] glue. You won't need nearly as much as with yellow glue - i use about 1/4 the amount that I would use for yellow glue. Don't use it for dowels, which need to expand to get the best fit. Can't say how it would work with biscuits - don't have a biscuit joiner. Clean-up is easy; because of the quick set and need for very little glue in the joint, squeeze-out is minimal, if it happens at all. Will just be little beads that can be shaved off easily, if you haven't had the chance to remove them with an acetone-dampened cloth. Like any other glue, any residue left will block take -up of dye or stain. Since it doesn't penetrate as deeply as yellow glue, it's much easier to deal with by light sanding. Usual precautions for using CA glue - gloves, good ventilation. Don't get me wrong, I still use a lot of Titebond. If cost were the only consideration, Titebond would be the only glue in the shop. Shelf life is at least as good as Titebond. I've used it after it's been open >10 months stored at room temp, without a problem. I can't compare this glue with polyurethane glue; don't like the stuff, haven't used any for years. Maybe someone else can talk about that.

Works incredibly well
Saw an ad for these on television and thought I’d try it out. This glue works incredibly well.

Cures in 30 minutes and incredibly strong hold
Absolutely one of the best glues I have ever used. Cures rock hard within 30 minutes and the adhesion is incredible. The only slight drawback is that it tends to dry a bit white so if you get it on your work surface you will need to wipe it off immediately with a wet cloth.... Or if on wood it can be sanded off. Absolutely amazing product!

3 Bottles were fully dried out upon arrival.
We purchased the 6 pack, 3 of the bottles were fully dried out upon arrival. When we reached out to the vendor they gave us the runaround. Were not able to return it. Basically - it cost us almost $20.00 per 4oz bottle. This is ridiculous.
