: I have to wet or steam bend some of the cherry veneers I have for the cockpit
: coamings and I was wondering if I should do the bend and clamp the veneers
: until they dry or can I apply the epoxy at the same time in one process
: while the wood is still wet? Also, what about steam bending and gluing of
: cedar strips. Should I bend and let dry before applying the titebond or
: would Gorilla glue be best for this purpose? Thanks Steve

Hi Steve

I can't speak for epoxy, as I've never run into that situation, but, with Titebond and I'm assuming Gorilla glues, they work on capillary action, and must soak into the wood to get a good bond. If there is moisture in there already, the glue has nowhere to go. Hope that helps
