![]() I use it as a replacement for urea forlaydehyde (plastic resin) adhesive. The polyurethane cures at 50 deg F instead of 70 deg F and the pieces can be repositioned up to 45 minutes after application. Like the other poster I've used it for laminating, ie gluing two pieces of plywood together to make a thiker piece, using weights while curing. I mostly use polyurethane mastic with screws in chine batten constuction instead of the more costly taped seam construction with epoxy (although David Bead at www.simplicityboats.com) has been experimenting with polyuretyane taped seam construction. I use inexpensive zinc plated wood screws which eliminates the need to buy clamps to hold pieces togehter while curing. Sometimes I remove the screws after the glue has set and fill the screw holes with drops of polyester resin. I like to build small, cheap, lightweight, boats I can pickup and carry in one hand. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
