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. Actually, it needs very firm clamping pressure and a precise fit, otherwise it will foam IN the joint, resulting in a very weak bond. I've used it on parts that are frequently immersed - but not continually for more than a few hours - and it works fine. |
