Exterior glue questions
I've posted here before about gates I am making out of cypress. They
will be very similar to these: http://opalko.smugmug.com/Other/Marc...34_ezNY8-M.jpg First question: In addition to the carriage bolts that sandwich the pieces together, would it make sense to use glue or construction adhesive to glue the pieces together (in the same places the carriage bolts are located)? I always thought gluing long grain against short grain was a no-no, but would it do any good here? Second: I have a lot of 2" wide strips left over from making the pieces for the gates. Rather than toss them in a ravine, I was thinking I could take 2 or 3 of these strips and exterior glue, and make new, wider pieces (with a jointer). Would these new 5" or 6" glued up pieces be usable outdoors just as 'regular' solid pieces; i.e. will glue hold up here? Cheers! |
