I've read numerous posts about glue line creep in segmented bowls but
I don't remember seeing a very good answer as to it's exact
definition. Has anyone ever put one under a high powered microscope to
determine if it's the glue expanding, wood contracting, combination of
both, or something else? Also, what do you segmented experts do to
minimize or eliminate this problem? Some people say it's definitely
the type of glue used, e.g. many will swear that titebond II
eliminates the problem, others say titebond II is the cause of the
problem; others say waiting a certain period of time between turning
and sanding and sanding and finishing is the answer. Others don't
say what they do, only that they never have the problem. The
differences of opinion are quite confusing. I'm sure there's a common
denominator somewhere. Thanks for your time. I'm a beginning
segmented turner and just searching for answers.
