I want a * low priced* ' waterproof ' glue to glue some wood together out
in the garden. Thats in all weathers, (London u.k. which means: rainy).

I went to Wickes and bought a tub of white PVA ' Waterproof ' glue. Gluing
some chopsticks together overnight and then soaking them in water for an
hour next morning, the glue lost all strength in adhesion. Have I been
robbed, and that could not really be called waterproof or am I asking for
too much?

Any suggestions on a *low priced* waterproof glue please? Years ago in the
woodworking class at school we used to have pots of glue (made I think from
horses hooves or something similar) that we used to heat over boiling water
to get it to be soft enough to use.

Is it still possible to get this type of glue? It must have been cheap for
our school to use it, but I have no idea if it's waterproof of not. Any
suggestions please ? Thanks.





Chopsticks, eh? You were thinking of hide glue, perhaps? Can still get
it and probably on line if you
do a google search. Chopsticks are wood? Bamboo? You might get a
better bond if you can drill a
fine hole in the center and glue in a toothpick ro something to bridge
the break. Gook luck ) Elmer's
would probably work as well as anything.
