rofl this is my kind of man

 

Wood glue actually seeps into the pores of the wood, I've found liquid nails really just is a surface bond. I'll use CA glue to hold a box together while the wood glue sets. I've broken apart a liquid nails bond, vs a wood glue bond, and the wood glue takes a LOT more wood with it.

Yeah Liquid nails holds up trim moldings and chair rails etc etc, and they dont fall down. Of course they are in a climate controlled low humidity enviroment, not in a car that during summer can hit 120 during the day and 60 at night.

 

I Will Have To Agree - Use Tight Bond Ii Wood Glue On All Your Seams, Let It Dry (about A Hour)- Then Use Silicon In All The Corners,
I Like The Idea Of The Using Fiber Glass Resign To Seal The Inside Air Tight
(anyone Know What Product Exactly To Use For That?)

 

I've always used just a standard resin, just don't mix it too hot or it will chip off the mdf too easily.






And yeah, good point, the boxes I've pulled apart which used wood glue usually took chunks of the wood with it...however the liquid nailed boxes usually break away cleanly.

 

hhmf wood glue never held a hammer to the celing in a TV commercial. Ill stick with my waterproof weather proof liquid nail and good ols fashioned silicone.

 

I use generic polyester resin. Best deal I've found is at us composites www.uscomposites.com. I use their EB grade general purpose. its down in the $19 a gallon range. They have a better price to the general public than I can get from the distributors. They also have all kinds of cool stuff like fiberglass cloth and mat is lots of weights, milled fibers, mold releases, etc.

FWIW, particle board and mdf is basically made of wood glue and sawdust.

I also prefer the penetrating nature of wood glue.

Anyone tried the new gorilla glues? They are basically an isocyanate that reacts with moisture in the air to make polyurethane. It looks like it might have the penetration of wood glue, but lots more durable. Once its dried, its basically even solvent proof.

I built my entire last box with CA glue. I'd rank it over either for holding a hammer to the celing.

PS of course I siliconed the inside.

 

I Have Used The Gorilla Glues - Really No Opion, Would Rather Use Tighbond Ii Wood Glue! - Cleans Up With Water Before It Dries

 

So you're saying for some custom boxes, they are 1.5 inches thick? Now I DEFFINATELY need to come to the meet. My box is 1.25 inches thick (custom box from years ago from a guy up north) Love it. Damn thing ways a ton though.
