Tassie Blackwood goes greenish when I use titebond. Alternatives?
I've found that tassie Blackwood tends to go greenish when I glue it with titebond. What glues do others use when making panels using Blackwood?
cheers,
ajw

Interesting! I have used both Titebond Original and Titebond III with Tas blackwood with no problem. Suspect that it may be something other than these two components that is causing the problem.

I've also found PVA to react with Blackwood. PU is the way to go.

Is the glue coming into contact with your steel clamps?

I have also experienced the green tinge on blackwood from pva and have used PU on blackwood with success, interestingly, I also get the green tinge on raintree, maybe it's a brown couloured timber thing .
It is usually only skin deep so a few shaves with the plane and it's gone.

I've also had it happen with American Walnut, not nearly as bad as Blackwood, but still noticeable.
Maybe it reacts with whatever makes timber brown
