Elmers Polyurethane Glue Question
This is the first time I've used poly glue of any kind. I'm gluing 2 fir
beams together then laminating them with 3/4" oak to create a vertical post for a stairway/landing. I glued the fir beams together yesterday with one bead of glue, dampening both parts as per instructions. After a few hours, I noticed the lack of the foam that's supposed to appear. I removed the clamps only to have the 2 beams come apart with the glue dried in between. I re-dampened the beams, used the equivalent of about 3 beads, in a squiggly pattern down the length of the wood then clamped and allowed to dry overnight. Still no foam this morning but the wood did seem to hold and a chisel driven at different points didn't seem to make the wood separate. Being still paranoid, I will use good ol' Elmers wood glue to laminate on the oak. So my question is, did I do something wrong? Why is there no foam? I've searched the group on google and didn't find this exact problem. Thanks, Will |
