RE: strength of wood glue?
Clay,
there is elmars white glue for paper which i dont use and there are wood glues.
i like titebond 2 because of availability and price near me, titebond 3 is for industrial use same strength very hard to sand tried that.
Doesn’t get into tight places? Well I push in with Q-tips, and now building my third kit with it and I see that you really don’t need that much.
The titebond 2 is hardening into orange color and if you put too much, it becomes red, I don’t get into that anymore.
As per weight, after it hardened its loosing about 55% of its weight and volume.
I’m spreading the glue with a Q-tip around the joint and its understanding by its self where it needs to hold, not doing the glue chamfer on the joint anymore….
As per strength, if you ar familiar with the 4*60 kit there is that place under the canopy where the top cover sheet is just sitting on the corner, I used wood glue there and then decided to cut it off with a razor blade, it was very hard despite me feeling the glue had nothing to hold on to…
