White Oak epoxy lamination
"Mike Brannon" writes:
Greetings group, I was wondering if anyone has had any trouble with epoxy glue and white oak. I'm building several laminations here of thin white oak to form frames, sheer clamps, stem etc. and I recently ran across something in print that warned of glueing up oak in such a manner. So far it has been trouble free for me but it seemed appropriate to ask the knowledge base at this forum of their experiences before proceeding at full speed. Conventional wisdom is to use resorcinol for white oak, at least that's what the company that built the frames for a couple of 100 ft Barks did.
