Resin to glue wooden gatepost to concrete one
I've been asked to replace a wooden gatepost (95mm) that is placed directly next to a concrete post.
The wooden post supports quite a heavy wooden gate and has broken at the bottom where it rotted. I'm planning to dig out the rotten wooden "root" of the post and put another one in but use the concrete post to strengthen it by putting some metal plates on. It occurred to me to wonder whether the kind of resin used for resin fixings would be any good as an adhesive in this situation - perhaps inspired by the way silicon sealant can act as a very effective adhesive when used on a shower screen! |

According to the TV advert Gorilla Glue is perfect for that. Richard |

Richard I would bolt or strap the remainder of the original wooden post ( with the gate hanging fixtures already in place) to the concrete post as long as its in good condition. |

Hmm, well, how old is the concrete post and how level. also your new wood is
bound to swell or twist over time, I just think it is a very short term solution to glue it. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
