Carpenters Glue

A polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive used in cabinet construction to bond wood joints, attach trim, and reinforce mechanical fasteners. Quality cabinet manufacturers apply carpenter's glue to all joints — dado, dovetail, and dowel — before assembly to create bonds that are often stronger than the surrounding wood. Yellow wood glue is the most common type, offering open working time, easy cleanup, and excellent long-term strength.
