Which glue to use?
 

Hello,
I want to adhere, face to face, two pieces of mdf. Both have been
primed with Zinsser shellac based, white pigmented primer. Which
adhesive would be appropriate for this job? Thanks.

The shellac has pretty much ruled out any adhesive which needs an
absorptive surface, I'd suggest either epoxy, or if strength isn't
crucial, silicone.

Screws.

Elmer's white glue is as good as any for what you are doing. In reality,
you are adhering primer to primer.

What's the application, what sort of environment will it be in, and
what sort of loading will the bond experience?

Polyurethane glues such as PL400 that come in tubes (NOT Gorilla glue)
and are solvent based will penetrate the shellac if properly applied.

Yup. Although pretty drastic, that will work. PL 600 is a candidate
too. I was trying to be gentle, not knowing what was going on here.

Wait..... don't Polyurethane glues need moisture?

Right. The primer could always be sanded off at the contact area.
Then any glue would do.

Not for the _tube_ stuff. While it has polyurethane resins in it, it
isn't using the same carriers or solvents as the Gorilla stuff.

The poly will dry (as you know) to a super hard, dense plastic with no
air or water. It kicks off when it leaves the tube due to its
exposure to air.

Woe be to the one that follows me to remove the tempered white
finished masonite beadboard wainscot that is popular now. I glue it
with tube poly and hide the brads in the bead grooves. It penetrates
the hard masonite easily, and goes right through many coats of paint
to adhere.

Several years after completing a kitchen remodel, I was called for
cabinet repairs due to water leaks. I had to cut out the pieces I
glued with that stuff as it destroyed everything that I glued with
it. (Excellent!)

I like the stuff as it is impervious to just about everything that
affects other glues.

Sigh. In future, please give complete information so we're not
wasting people's time guessing what you're trying to do, okay?

You can use anything for that application. Literally - any adhesive
would work.

Latex caulk is probably the easiest all the way around.
Silicone caulk is more expensive and presents problems if you're
trying to paint over it.

Silicone is for those who don't dare to venture into the realms of
sillicon, silliputty or sillisybin.

Well, then, you might be interested to know that Cuba lead the way in
investigating sub-atomic particles. They were so far ahead of
everyone else that it became trivial to them, and they wrote popular
songs about the physics involved. Here's proof - a Russian study
group trying to glean some of the Cuban's knowledge by emulating them:

Russian studies are very informal.

Interesting idea. I think that there'd be a problem with working
time, but the shellac primer would certainly act as an adhesive. If
the clapboard pieces lay flat on the sheathing of the house, it'd
work, but if they're like regular clapboard, with only a little bit
overlapping the course below, and a little bit touching the sheathing,
I don't think there'd be much surface area and the bond would be
pretty weak. That's why I suggested latex caulk - it'd fill gaps.

Ah so, it was *you* that led the research team that was endeavoring to
isolate, in =un-bound= form, the 4h quark[1].

I should have known, when, despite the fact that the project had a fancy
academic name, it was almost always referred to as "the search for the
naked 'bottom'".

[1] for those who's particle physics knowledge is deficient, there are
6 'flavor's of quarks "up','down","top", "bottom", "strange", and
"charmed". I'm _not_ going going to get into how they come in assorted
'colors', or how a thing _far_ smaller than the wavelength of visible light
can have color at all.

One of the glues I've found handy for modeling is Alenes Extra Tacky.
That should work great for a dollhouse, especially the smaller pieces.
