I have had good sucess using the Loctite and Permatex brands lately.
depending on what I'm glueing. Are you asking about bed-cloths? bar table rails? When I did use spray glue, my favortie was 3M 76 for beds & pockets for bar rails 3M 77. I never liked 77 for beds, it just seemed to messy.
Still use 77 on bar table rails and 3M 10 on beds. Never tried the off brands but Loctite has a good super glues. Have yet to try their spray glue. Any cheaper that 77?
77 = $9+change at Home Depot last I looked.
I see you're one of those glue the bar table rail guys.

The loctite brand comes in a smaller can than the 77 and costs about $7 .
Yes I am. I cringe when I see staples in the back of bar rails. I use staples on the ends for about 3". What do you use Rickster? Am I going to cringe at your answer?
Holy Moly John! Lowe's here is at $11 right now and their corporate offices are about 4 miles from my house. What up with that?!?!?!
That is crazy! When i saw 8 bucks, i took the case off the shelf and spotted another one up in the rack and grabbed that one too! I have a local ace hardware three minutes from my place and they charge 17.95!!!!!!

Just staples, no glue. You can cringe now.
I staple them also,but only because the first one I ever did was stapled so I assumed thats the way it was done. As I did more I found out they could be glued as well. I dont do enough of them to want to learn to glue them but would like to .
it's pretty easy, call me, I'll tell you how.
Gotta go with Robin on the bar tables. I've done literally 1000's of them in years past. (no as many now days) I use 7 staples on each end and glue the rest. Works great with no problems. Way faster to strip for a recover later and no damage to the rails from all the staples. Valley glues them too.
Thanks Donny I will take you up on that the next time I work on one.
I have to say out of all the techniques on doing things ive seen posted gluing bar table rails is the most intriguing. I don't do that many so not a big deal but i always thought the recess on the whole middle section on the back was for staples? Also the reason why ive always felt they rebound i bit clunky.
