    Pens, sandpaper and CA glue

    I have been using the following grits of sandpaper for sanding my pens. 150 ( rarely), 220, 320, and 400. The 320 and 400 is a black wet/dry paper. I have been getting annoying little white spots in my CA finish. I read that black sandpaper lends itself to this behavior, so I switched to a...

    Best glue for bent laminating

    After reading several articles on glues, and what each one is best used for, I am still confused as to which is best for bent laminating. I have used the yellow stuff for years, usually Titebond II, with good success. But not for any bent stuff. I am making a bookcase with curving front posts...

    Cheap glue spreader

    I use the fake credit cards I get in the mail (weekly it seems) to spread glue on flat surfaces. If it is water base glue I just throw then in a pan of water to wash them off for the next time.

    A great glue spreader

    With all the rocker laminates for the rocker class, Woodguy and I have been doing a lot of glue-ups lately. We have been using plastic resin glue, and experimenting a little with slight variations in the mix and different methods for spreading the glue quickly and easily. We tried old paint...

    Finishing a pen with CA Glue

    I first saw the CA method from Woodguy, and I practiced with many many pens. It looked so easy, but it does take a fair amount of practice to get some consistant results. Here is a step by step set of instructions. Admittedly, this is not the fruits of my labor, I shameless stole it from...

    To glue or not to glue..that is my question

    I have made the parts to my NYW style router table. It's 2 pieces of 3/4" MDF topped with a piece of phenolic impregnated Baltic Birch ply. Should I glue the top to the cabinet so I will know that it won't move. Or just screw it to the cabinet in case I need to remove it later. I don't have...

    Glue creep

    Glue creep: What is it? Why does it happen? How do you prevent it? Reason I ask is: I've noticed that some (not all) of my projects have developed a little tiny ridge in the glue lines over time (weeks to months). Feels like glue squeeze-out, but on a microscopic level, if you can...

    Glue for Barrel Hinge

    First time putting barrel hinges on small box. Certainly seems like you need to add epoxy or something so it won't fall out and I figure Tite Bond won't work on metal. It's the 5mm hinge that doesn't have a set screw for tightening as some of the larger ones do. Sure, I could find something to...

    Gorilla glue

    Anyone out there use this stuff? It is strong as heck but I can never seem to manage the foaming situation that comes with this glue. I like this stuff a lot but it sure does make a mess for me. Any tips?
