epoxies. 5 minute mostly useless, it sets too fast and does not penetrate the wood surfaces too deeply. strength is lacking compared to other epoxies.......
And while the subject is open, what in the world does aliphatic mean anyways? While I was searching for a glue to bond sheeting I went to the LHS and announced that I wanted aliphatic glue. You'da thought I asked for kryptonite or something.... Nevertheless, I didn't get any.
dictionary.com says this, but it doesn't mean anything to me. Is is an ingredient in the glue that can be read on the label? or a property of the glue?
pertaining to nonaromatic hydrocarbon compounds in which the constituent carbon atoms can be straight-chain, branched chain, or cyclic, as in alicyclic compounds; saturated, as in the paraffins; or unsaturated, as in the olefins and alkynes
Short answer is that aliphatic glues are fat based (root word is Latin or Greek or some such for "fat") some are also described as casein based (a protein in milk fat). White glues are PVA (poly-Vinyl-acetate) based. There is also a "brown" glue made up of colligen chains - used to be made by boiling down fish skin and/or animal hides - aka "Hide" glue
