Application
Preparation of stock that will be glued is extremely important. Joints cut from rip saws should be free of saw marks. They should also be straight and square. Molded or jointed stock should be free of knife marks. Glazed or burnished joints will prevent adhesive penetration and should be avoided.
Gluing stock should be uniform in thickness. Variation in thickness should not exceed 0.005 in/0.12 mm.
Sanding to thickness should be performed using higher than 50 grit abrasives. When possible, glue joints should
be prepared and glued the same day.
Spreads of 35-50 pounds of adhesive per 1,000 square feet or 170-250 grams per square meter of glue line are adequate. Verify adequate glue coverage by monitoring for squeeze out along the glue line once the panels are under pressure.
