Miter joint blew apart on a $4,000 kitchen install last month
I was in Dayton, Ohio fitting the last crown molding piece on a high end kitchen and the miter joint split right at the glue line. Turns out my new finish nailer was driving the nails too deep and it cracked the wood, plus I had used cheap glue from a bucket that sat in my unheated trailer all winter. I had to pull the whole run, cut fresh pieces, and re-glue with proper Titebond in 40 degree weather. My client watched the whole mess and just said 'take your time' which made it worse. Does anyone else keep a log of glue batch dates after a failure like this?

Heard a contractor say cheap glue is a gamble that always pays out in heartbreak.
