What is stronger for bonding pieces of wood: Epoxy or Wood Glue?





the answer is "Yes".

Or alternatively, "No"

Everything depends on:
(1) the particular glue involved
(2) The type(s) of wood, and/or other materials, involved
(3) The type of joint
(4) The quality of the fit

just for starters.

In general, with a precise fit between the pieces, _any_ quality glue,
*USED*PROPERLY*, will be _significantly_ stronger than the surrounding
wood. "How much stronger" is essentially a moot point, since the wood
next to the joint *will* fail before the joint itself fails.

There are some 'fundamental' considerations, like it's usually a Bad Idea(TM)
to use a water-based glue on materials that will suffer adverse effects from
exposure to water (e.g. MDF, cheap particle-board, etc.)
