Default RE: need info on wood glue

Remember, the glue you are using is not really meant to give it superstrength. It's meant to hold the pieces together so that you can get the covering on and around the piece(s) in question. THAT is what gives it strength.


Huh? What?

I’ll agree that the covering ends up being part of the structural integrity but let’s not get carried away here. Based on your premise why not just use a glue stick for assembly, then cover. Tight, well designed joints and the proper amount and type of adhesive contribute way more to structural strength than what you cover it with.
