Dave & all

I did limited test sampling on glue strength elmers, tight bond, gorilla and epoxy 5min and 30 min, I used the same size pcs of lite ply with a 1inch square of glued surface, all samples were let dry 48 hous. I wont give all the details . But the results were in shier they all were with in 10% 0f one another, Oh one outher thing all samples were weighted. elmers and tight bound failed at the loest settings, gorilla glue and the epoxie's were with a breath of being the same but the gorilla turned out to be the lightest buy about 20%. I did this just to convince my self that gorilla glue was a use able glue in my building process. so I have used it in all laminates in this new build
