Default Speeding up PVA wood glue

Really urgently need some wood glued with PVA to dry as quickly as possible
to complete kitchen drawer work.

Would a good blast with a hair dryer or hot air gun make any significant
difference to the drying time which i understand is normally 24 hours.


Heat will help. Using a glue with good tacifiers in it like Titebond
will work better as well.

Depending on exactly what you are glueing, many kitchen fitters cheat
and use a medium viscosity CA glue and the accelerant spray. I find
using that I can assemble coves and mitres etc and make them handleable
inside a minute!
