Thank you in advance Daniel I used a polyurethane one part ( "Gorilla" type) glue to make a tiller handle. It brags about being the strongest, but says it's unsuited to immersion. I was unhappy that it foamed out on finished surfaces, looking very untidy during the setting interval. This is also a reason why it calls for a light clamping force - else it can spring joints. BrianW Over time it will absrb moisture which can cause the bond to fail. So if you use this kind of glue, makes sure you have a good heavy varnish finish. That's the beauty of using epoxy - the bond is a lot more impervious to moisture although it will still need the varnish finish to protect from UV. Six of one - etc... |
