Any special way to use the glue on wood?
I’ve had a few questions along this vein so I’m including a little write up that Dave did after some testing. RE WOOD AND OTHER POUROUS MATERIALS When I did my original testing on gluing wood the glue worked perfectly. Recently I had two people complain that the they were having trouble gluing wood. So I did some testing and found the following. So long as the wood was clean and not end grain it bonded every time in ten seconds. When I glued end grain it took longer than ten seconds to bond. Preliminary tests show that after 30 seconds it does bond – it may have bonded after 20 seconds, I havent tried but it certainly bonded with some strength after 30 seconds. These bonds will also continue to get stronger for several hours afterwards in any event. The bottom line seems to be that the more porous the material the more glue is needed and the longer the setting time. For non end grain wood joints I would use about five drops of glue per square inch. For end grain joints I would use abou
