Re: wood adhesive

@ spykersetter,

Bro aside from Elmer's glue, or carpenter's glue, have you tried using PIONEER PRO Power Bond, a construction adhesive for wood, concrete, cement boards, metals, ceramic, masonry and glass.

Price is about 150 pesos / 300 ml.

Re: wood adhesive

How do you plan to use the glue? Will you be using it between joineries, for gluing panels face to face, spot gluing, or how?

Ah, so you're jointing them to make 8" wide shelves. The strain won't be on the side to side joints then. For that purpose, the glue won't make a big strength difference: a butt joint is a butt joint. I imagine you'll be using the shelf supports to fix the boards together.

IMHO i'd avoid an epoxy. You're main concern will be planing/sanding the jointed shelf flat, and you don't want hard glue protruding from the joints. They may end up proud, and might even nick your planer 🙁 After clamping the joint (or fastening them together), I suggest gettng a wet rag and rubbing off all traces of glue, even to the point of removing a milimeter of glue from the joint. That way, you can sand the board flat without having the glue stick out.

Re: wood adhesive

+1 since using the boards as shelf won't put much pressure between the joints, wood glue wold suffice. After clamping, wipe any glue squeeze out with a damp rag.

Re: wood adhesive

joining side to side grain of the wood provides a very strong joint. I still haven't had one fail on the glue joint using this method. I use Elmers and titebond in my works.

Re: wood adhesive

Anyone know where I can get Elmer's Carpenter's Glue? Can't seem to find them nowadays.

Anyone know where I can get them by the gallon?

Sta Lucia mall)

P1,600 if my memory serves me right.

must be a mistake brader... I use the gallon and costs less than 1K, 900 iirc. I get mine at Times Office Supply in Binondo but what I got is the last one in the store and I got info that they will stop importing the gallon sizes... I see regular sized ones sa Ace often too................. :painting:

You're right. P1,600 is the paper cutter that I bought. But its too small to be a gallon. 1.5 liters, maybe? :confused:
