Got me a LV small glue pot (holds 3-4 oz of glue) heating plate, keeps glue right about 142-4*.
Using the 251gm stuff-more is better?
As everyone knows, it sets up pretty quick if the substrate is cold. When I put my small project in a plate warmer/blanket-it heated thoroughly, had to clamp it, and I thought it would never solidify. Shoulda used my handheld laser thermometer to not overshoot the temp.
Did some stringing-have to work real fast, right?
Then, some of the veneer got cock-eyed, so I reversed w an iron (special purpose-$10 WM). Now-that was gratifying indeed. Little water, heat, and a roller did the trick.
Here's my questions:
-The 192 gm would be better, allow a little more open time?
-Got some urea from Homestead Finishing to increase the open time. You all satisfied w that, for when the parts can't be heated?
-Two other things I read was the glycerin can be added to increase flexibility-I don't see me needing that. Thoughts?
-And, vinegar can be added to increase wetting properties; is this for oily woods?
Thanks
