Glues for oiled woods
I have a salad bowl which has developed a 2 inch hairline crack. The bowl
has been well oiled and I will require a glue that can penetrate the crack but also adhere in spite of the oil. Does anyone have suggestions? |

The owner did apply oil to the bowl after the crack appeared so an oil
resistant glue would be essential. "Barry N. Turner" wrote in message ... Have you applied oil since the crack appeared? If not, there should be a minimal amount of oil in the crack and thin CA might do the trick. It will usually wick into hairline cracks. Barry "Errol Caldwell" wrote in message . ..

I'm not sure there is any such thing as an oil-resistant glue. The success
of the gluing will be dependent on the surfaces to be glued being clean and oil-free, but I think CA will work as well as anything else. Barry "Bjarte Runderheim" wrote in message ... "Barry N.
