: So the joint has to be perfect if I'm using polyurethane glue
: (Gorilla), near perfect if I'm using PVA (Titebond 3), and epoxy
: will give me a little more wiggle room.
: I think if I wait a few weeks, the weather will turn warmer, to the
: point where I'll be comfortable epoxying. 'Til then, I'll keep
: experimenting with the Gorilla Glue. It did break the wood on
: half of the failed joint, so as long as I can get the joint
: perfect, GG will be strong enough, I figure. It's just the
: matter of getting the joint perfect.
: I cleaned up and recut the joint this morning, then built a little
: jig to plane the joint surface. It came out quite a bit better
: than the last joint. I slapped on a little more GG on the joint
: surface, too... not too much, but enough to thinly cover the
: entire surface. I've got it clamped now.
: I'll check it after work tonight... I suspect it'll be ok, just
: looking at how the first joint failed. I've got a better joint
: mate this time. As long as I didn't apply too much GG, I'm
: thinking it'll be ok. I do see myself cutting this stringer up
: for the deck ridges, though, and moving the scarf joints out to
: the end of the 8' lengths.
Epoxy will cure at the temperature you are talking about but cure times will be lengthened. I've had West 105/205 set up in the freezer.
