>mixes with water, long open and setting times, absolutely no creep, brown glue line. Clean up before it sets because it'll chip the hardest chisel.

Yep, That's what I thought....

>I had some when I was a kid. May have been too young then and I may be too old now. If I recall, I used some to glue up a cutting board and it was way too cold in the shop. It turned white and the board fell apart.

Thanks.

>Hello Barry,

I've looked for the Weldwood stuff every time I go to a new Hardware store in this area. No dice. Nobody seems to carry it. And when I tried to find a retail outlet from their website, I got no hits in my area. Its enough to make me come unglued.

Plastic Resin Glue questions?

DeepWoods in MN

>George,

What is plastic resin glue used for? Suggestions as to what type of glue I should use to join my face frames with? Yello OK? I'm also gluing my 3/16 prefinished maple ply to a pine plywd substrate to fasten to the face frame. Need the substrate for drawerslide support.

Am I barking up the right tree?

>Plastic resin glue has a very short shelf life which makes it uneconomical for stores to carry.

>Good Afternoon Deepwoods,

The plastic resin glue is noted for a long open time, allowing deliberate and precise positioning of pieces being assembled. When I have that kind of problem I generally use liquid hide or polyurethane glues. Hide glue has a fast and strong tack. I don't like polyglue's foaming. Yellow glue seems to set up a little too fast for me, and I spend great amounts of emotion attacking that fact with heavy hammer raps and bar clamp squeeze. I've watched Dave Marks, and I would like to at least try his approach. I use enough glue that shelf life isn't too important a consideration, given a small container size.

I use it fairly often...

>There was one retail place in Tucson where I used to buy it, no clue yet where to get it now. Weldwood is the name. Brown powder which is mixed with water and brushed or better yet rolled on. Really good for bent laminations, as there is very little spring back, also good for veneer. Set time varies from 8 hours at 90F to 14 hours at 70F, which makes it too much of a pain for me to use where I could use TB or hide glue instead.

Couple of tips:

1. Be very careful not to use too much water (this is why they recommend mixing by weight in the instructions), it will drastically weaken the glue.

2. Mix with warm water. This stuff mixes much easier if the water is around 90F, forms more of a liquid than a horrible sticky mess, greatly reducing the temptation to add more water and ruin the batch.

Shelf life is short, as mentioned, though I've had a bucket sitting around almost two years now and its still good. The joys of a dry climate (its humidity that kills the glue, AFAIK).

Should be able to find it mail order if you google Weldwood.

>My corner hardware guy has it. A Do It Best center.

But he carries everything, almost.

I might have to actually buy some one day.

Does it contain Formaldehyde???

>George, try a boatbuilding supply house, such as Jamestown Distributors in Rhode Island.

Super stuff - strong and UV resistant and relatively cheap too.

>I've had good luck with Roo Glue clear. The only source I know of is the Allentown Woodcraft though I don't see it on their www site. It's one of those "glue anything to anything(almost)" glues. Marketed primarily for gluing Melamine, but I've used it for wood to T Track and wood to wood. About 20 minutes open time, pretty well set in 4 hours, moisture resistant though no claims about being water proof. Cheap, around $6/quart. Not messy like Polyurethane glue, water cleanup and can be disassembled with a solvent (lacquer thinner?) after is has set, so is reversible.
