It was one of the first non-protein synthetic adhesives from 1930's. Reaced by epoxides now which are also waterproof. |

Excellent stuff and readily available in UK and not expensive. |

ups.com... Great thing about resorcinol is that tools etc can be cleaned off in water. Excellent stuff and readily available in UK and not expensive. But it requires absolute tight fits and high clamping pressure. Epoxy on the other hand is gap filling and requires no clamping pressure at all. And when building a boat, this is a huge plus.

I've used the urea formaldehide-based water resistant glue developed at about the same time. I use the polyurethane-base adhesive on my small cheap boats now at a lower cost and more forgiving working time and curing temperature. Neither of these is absolutely waterproof like resorcinol. I guess people know that rescorcinol dries a deep purple that stains the work so it's not thebest around exposed woodgrain. |

The damp-setting, expanding glues of the "Gorilla" type were I thought both waterproof and polyurethane based? They are way expensive! Brian Whatcott Altus OK |
