: Do any of you have any experience with laminating hardwood stems with Gorilla
: Glue? I think it might have several advantages over epoxy: 1. You can use
: it when the wood is wet
: 2. It is easier on the tools when shaping the stem after lamination
: 3. No mixing
: I think it has osme of the same advantages as epoxy (gap filling,
: waterproof).
: Any thoughts?
I used Gorilla Glue on the stems for my one and only (so far) build. It's a Great Auk with ash (steam bent and laminated) stems. I used the GG because I hadn't purchased my epoxy yet and I wanted something stronger and more water resistant than Titebond for the stems.
It worked fine. One benefit is that this glue is easier on edged tools than epoxy. It does foam up and leak out but is easily cleaned offwith a chisel.
