I want a longer open time glue and UF fits the bill. Does it irritate your
nose, breathing, or skin? Is it only a problem when it is in powder form
and floats in the air during handling? How about when sanding through glue
lines?

There isn't a better alternative is there? I don't want to use the foamy
Gorilla Glue type glues.

I want performance on a par with Titebond but with a much longer open
time.


Before the Titebond and Elmer's type glues there was the Weldwood Plastic
Resin glues. They come in a powder form, mix with water, have a long open
time, and don't get it on you or your clothes. It has to wear off. Very
strong.

I use to use that glue. Look in the books about
different types of glue. It is fairly thin and
likes tight joints. I put two pieces of 1/2 ply
together for my RAS about 30 years ago. Still
going strong ( i.e., the pieces never separated).

BTW, it has no smell when mixed that I could detect.
