Food safe glue followup
After the recent thread on food safe glue, I emailed Gorilla Glue and asked.
They replied with a detailed message. Essentially, they said that while they haven't gone through the FDA approval process, it is already in use in Denmark making things like cutting boards and such. They go on to say it is completely non-toxic after curing. The only caveat is that if subjected to temperatures over 212F for over 4 hrs (at a time) may lead to joint failure once cooled. Ed |

If it's only a breadboard or somesuch w/o a lot of heavy effort in the construction, sure. Fancy multi-blank turned salad bowls or somesuch, I'd hate to risk the effort. all imo, $0.02, ymmv, etc., etc., etc., ..., of course... -- |

Talk about deceptive claims. |

It is bound to swell, shrink, and eventually split. the glue will probably be only 1 of the problems going on inside a dishwasher. I'll buy that. But in my experience, woodworkers don't load all the dishwashers in the world. I'm going to assume the worst and go for the best glue going. (grin) I've used Gorilla glue for a couple small boats I've made. The glue joints never fail. The paint does and then the wood does but that glue will hold those broken pieces of wood together forever. I wouldn't use it for every job but where I expect immersion in water, it is generally my choice. It's good to know that it is safe for kitchen use. Ed |

I use cedar boards for cooking salmon now and then (they don't get so hot they burn and not glued up pieces) but I can't imagine making a glued up baking dish. The only times I could imagine a glued up piece being at 212F (hmmm... what's significant about that number?) would be a glued up piece as a spoon used to stir something on a stove, or maybe as a rack in a boil pot or a steamer. I'm sure there was some test requirement that produces these results. I just can't imagine (me at least) subjecting things to the extremes lots of these tests go to. I don't know, maybe there isn't a lick of common sense left in the world. Ed |

The only times I could imagine a glued up piece being at 212F (hmmm... what's significant about that number?) ... Glue chemistry is a bit more interesting than that (not that I know all that much about it). PVAs polymerize as they cure, independently of simply losing moisture, forming longer chains of, ummm, polymers. Adding water to cured glue doesn't "dissolve" those chains. Steaming the wood, however, still has the effect that steaming wood always had. I wonder why I never thought to remodel the spoon handles though... (Regarding a past conversation about gluing one side or both sides, I just read my glue bottle. Titebond says to "Apply a heavy spread of glue to surface and clamp". I always just put glue on the surface, but let the squeeze out snot up the clamp. It also doesn't say one side or both sides.) |

No, well .... anybody who puts wooden cooking utensils into a dishwasher deserves a spanking i.m.o. anyway. Brief immersion in hand-hot soapy water is one thing, the extremes of the dishwasher environment are something else entirely. In fact I'd trust few if any woods nor finishes to stand up to that abuse for very long in any event. My sister-in-law's knife handles bear witness to what I'm saying. A sorry warped, twisted, buckled and clattering (e.g. loose rivets) mess. shudders I agree with you... but... I bought my wife a knife set with wood handles (Chicago Cutlery) shortly after we were married (1975) I recently retired and started doing things like emptying the dishwasher which I never did before and to my horror, I found she was putting these superb knives with wooden handles in the washer. Of course I complained about it and she said she has always done it with no ill effects. There have been no ill effects, the handles never had finish on them but they are in great shape after I guess 32 + years. No warpage, no loose rivets, etc. I have no idea what type of wood it is either, and I still shudder to think about putting anything wood in the dishwasher but had to mention this. -- Jack Using FREE News Server: http://Motzarella.org http://jbstein.com |

to be indestructible. When I use one, I rinse it off by hand :-). I saw a show in which the chef kept a pot of boiling water constantly on the stove with a strainer basket. When he cut meat, he would set the knife in the boiling water for a short time, before wiping it and replacing it in the rack. If you're going to hand wash after meat, make sure you clean with an antimicrobial soap. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

Not too much has survived all these years. We bought a 100 year old round oak table at a house auction that I refinished and it seats 12 with all the boards in. Wife paid $100 for that which I complained about... boy was I dumb... We bought a used set of Sears oak bedroom furniture from a guy that was obviously and admittedly selling while his recent X was at work, still in good shape... and all my early 50's Rockwell Delta big iron stationary tools, in about brand new condition (worlds biggest gloat, everyone would hate me if I were to tell that tale). Not much else I can think of is still around, other than us, and we are starting to wear around the edges... -- Jack Using FREE News Server: http://Motzarella.org http://jbstein.com |
