I wonder if there is any bad wood glue out there. I use it quite a bit and I don't think i ever used the same brand twice.

My latest bottle is gorilla and it works well enough. But exactly like you said, I don't think I could pick it out from every other bottle I've used in the last 20 years.

For some reason I have a thought in my head that I don't like Elmer's wood glue. I don't know why, I don't remember it ever letting me down.

White Elmer's glue is pretty much the same formula as their "washable" school glue. It bonds wood quite strongly but it tends to be slimier than wood glue so when you go to clamp the boards together they tend to slip around out of orientation. It's not as fun to work with as yellow carpenter's glues which tend to be tackier so the boards don't slip around as much.
