Hi guys,
Well I cut myself a bucket of wedges last night, and the glue is not holding well. Very little pressure knocks them off. I am out of town this weekend, so probably no building time for a few days. I will be off to the hardware store to see if I am using an inferior glue stick. I'll let you all know next week.

thanks again,
Borre
