DRAGON1 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 construction wood is notorious for not being properly dry. the moisture in the wood actually keeps the glue from being absorbed by the wood grain. pressure treated acts the same with regular glue and that's why they developed gorilla glue cause the stuff actually needs water to help it cure.

Popular Post Dadio Posted March 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 The florescent glue says do not use below 55 and store at room temp. So if your room is 30 degrees it must be OK. Herb HARO50, Cal, Gene Howe and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadio Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Now that I have the glue, I can't find my Black Lite, I had it just last week, can't remember where I put it. I have looked everywhere. It will turn up when I look for something else. it is one of those LED flashlight type. Herb p_toad, HARO50 and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Thuman Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 As other have wrote becuase the jointer and planer is producing a glass smooth finish. Please take 150 paper then sand lightly if that does not break the glaze step down until it breaks. Then sand in even steps to 150. At 150 the wood has enough tooth or roughness to bond ot the glue. Use on KD (Klin Dried) or if as you wrote common construction lumber shold be air dried. Put them in warm dry place. Use 1/4" stickers about every 2 ft. if the width of the stack is more than one board leave 1/4" minimum between the boards. Let it sit until the mositure evens out and the boards are dry. That would be normally 3 to 6 weeks. Cal, Dadio and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cures in the bottle, leaves foam blow out, pushes apart joint unless firmly clamped, no gap filling strength, stains skin, ruins clothing, expensive, long cure time, no known solvent for cured glue(must be sanded or cut out), uncured glue can be wiped off with a solvent (that will damage finish if you are repairing a finished piece). IMO, only redeeming quality is water resistance. The bane of my repair business is hearing, "My husband tried to repair this with Gorilla Glue." Immediately at least doubles the time and effort to do the right thing. HARO50, Gene Howe, Dadio and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb mineral spirits removes excess before it dries. very few uses for it as far as i'm concerned. p_toad, Dadio and HARO50 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
