Re: Threaded Rod Glue Spreader

The link on the original post was sponsored by Gorilla Glue's new type 2 PVA adhesive. I'm thinking they agreed with this method. They're in the business of selling glue and if they endorse a method that uses less glue than I currently use and are staking the success of a new (to them) product they get my attention. YMMV with other glues but I doubt it. All the PVA glues are incredibly strong and exceed the strength of wood if properly applied, clamped and allowed to set up.

Dennis' (Gotch6) idea about using a heated threaded rod on a plastic card is definitely a great idea and gets around concerns about rust and cleaning, etc. I've been using the same laminated Blockbuster Video card for 10 years. It's got the right "feel" if you know what I mean....kinda like a favorite guitar pick. It's flexibility allows the dried glue to peel right off the next time I need it.

Re: Threaded Rod Glue Spreader

You know what works well for really large glue ups - a piece of one of the pool noodle flotation devices with a really long dowel stuck through it .

Well, it worked for me last time hehe.
