** Nods in knowledge garnered from such happenings ** As much as I like yellow (aliphatic resin) wood glue, those are two bonding jobs that I no longer use it for, for the reason you gave. Elmer's Glue-All provides ample time for re-positioning motor mounts and sleeve tubes, but long-pot life epoxy and polyurethane cements provide stronger bonds than white glue. |
