So... the discourse on glues has become quite intriguing to me. Karl's
comments introduced me to things/techniques that I had no knowledge of, and
damn... whenever that kind of thing happens...

So - how about a little dialog about what people use, and how they use it.
Here's some questions that are popping into my mind as I investigate this
stuff...

1 - what are the factors that will determine if you use PVA or Urea Resin
glue? I understand the stress part, but are there other considerations that
help you make that decision?

If you have a complicated glue up and need an longer than average set time
go with the UR..


2- what do people use... powder with water mix, or powder with catalyst?
Reasons? Comments?


Typically just water assuming this question is pointed to the UR glue. A
catalyst would sorta defeat the advantage of the long set time that this
glue offers.


3 - how do people apply the stuff - brush, roller, whatever?

I always used a brush, one you would throw away. A roller for a large
surface.




4 - any other comments and/or interesting things for people to know.
