Default RE: All About Glues

ORIGINAL: carrellh

Adding wood glue on top of a CA glue joint does not add much, if any, strength.
Wood glue needs to be inside the joint, and needs to soak into the wood, to create a strong bond.
Carrell,
Very good point. And it does justice to mention that this true for most adhesives. Epoxy, wood glue, and most others all need to work into the pores of the wood in order to set properly and give a good strong joint. One the pours of the wood have been filled with anything it will be next to impossible to get a good joint. All of these adhesives need to be applied to good clean wood.
