Q: Is it actually waterproof?
Yes, it's the first PVA glue to earn ANSI Type I water-resistance certification, making it effectively waterproof for exterior use, though it isn't rated for marine use below the waterline.

This is the first PVA glue to meet the ANSI standard for Type I water resistance — it is effectively waterproof, although not for marine use below the waterline. The standards for Type I certification are much more stringent than for Type II (Titebond II). Samples are boiled rather than soaked, baked for longer and at a higher temperature, and tested for shear strength rather than delamination.
Combining a strong initial tack with a long open time (10 min.) but short clamping time (30 min.), Titebond III has good gap-filling capabilities with its high solids content (52%). It sands easily without softening, resists heat and solvents, and cures to a light brown. It is FDA approved for indirect food contact, such as cutting boards or serving platters. A low chalk temperature (47°F/8°C) allows Titebond III to fully cure in cool weather, making it useful for on-site assembly. Solvent free and one-part, it cleans up easily with water when liquid.
An excellent all-around choice when faced with conditions that would challenge any other water-based adhesive.

You get a 10-minute open time to position and clamp the joint, with clamps typically ready to come off after about 30 minutes.
Yes, the cured glue is FDA-approved for indirect food contact, which covers surfaces like cutting boards and serving platters where food touches the surface but not the glue line directly.
Titebond III's Type I certification tests are more rigorous than Titebond 2's Type II standard. Samples are boiled instead of soaked, baked for longer at a higher temperature and tested for shear strength instead of delamination, giving Titebond III better resistance to sustained moisture and heat.
Yes, while wet the glue cleans up with water; once it's cured, you'll need to scrape or sand it off instead.
