Is Elmer's white glue as strong as wood glue

Question

I'm also going to use screws but don't want to run out & get the wood glue

Answer 1

not at all! wood glue costs more...but you wont have to repair.

Answer 2

oh no no no- use the wood glue or youll regret it

Answer 3

Nope. It doesn't hold as well as wood glue does. It also breaks down if it gets wet. Wood glue will work much better.  

Answer 4

Elmers glue is water soluable so it depends on what you're using it for.

Answer 5

Elmer's white glue is better for more porous things like ceramics. The wood glue is specially designed to penetrate into wood moreso than white glue.

Answer 6

Elmer's white glue will work but the carpenter's glue holds much better.
