: Many posts to this BBS have cautioned against using teak and similar woods
: because the oils inhibit bonding. Has anyone ever tried G2 by Industrial
: Formulators (Canadian). Following is from their literature.
: "A particularly versatile adhesive because it is formulated for oily,
: dense, and acidic woods and can modify the mixing ratio to achieve varying
: balances between tensile strength and flexibility. Glues teak, cocobolo,
: and all other exotics reliably, with a waterproof clear glue line. Bonds
: like or dissimilar materials, including all woods, metals, glass, ceramics
: and many plastics. The standard 2:1 mixing ratio provides excellent
: tensile strength; increasing the amount of part B to a maximum of a 1:1
: ratio provides sufficient flexibility to laminate materials for archers'
: bows and other extremely flexible objects. The higher concentration of
: part B also provides great impact resistance and the ability to withstand
: the stresses of differential expansion rates between dissimilar bonded
: materials."
I used G2 to glue oak deck fittings ,so far so good, although I haven't wacked them with a hammer..(like you might do with a test panel)
My friend who makes Nimbus paddles uses it for most of their gluing applications.
It's quite a bit thicker than regular epoxy.
