Hi,

Is there a preference of glue when doing metal to wood? I've been
highly recommending Tite Bond II as a bond for woodturnings on my
stainless steel bottle stoppers. At the show in NC one of the reps
from another booth said he would use either epoxy or Gorilla glue. I
have never had one of my stoppers come loose using Tite Bond II.

Doesn't Gorilla glue foam up, and doesn't it have a shorter shelf life?
Does all epoxy need to be 2-step and have a short working time?

By the way, I want to thank all of you who stopped by my booth at the
Albany, Ohio or NC show to introduce yourself and it was nice to visit
with some old friends from this group. It really is nice to see
someone you've just "read". : )

Thanks for opinions, suggestions and advice.

Sort of a different application, but might help:

I tried gluing rare earth magnets to pegboard with TB III to hold lathe
chisels...

None of them held for long, they wanted to stay on the chisel...

As they break loose, I've been putting them back up with thick CA and none of
those have broken loose yet..

I also used CA to hold large magnets to plastic electrical boxes for remote
switches on the lathes and they hold up under a lot of movement and use.. YMMV
