Yes, the 2 different glues are applied in different areas-they are NOT mixed. Depending on the size/location/weight etc. I use a larger amount of yellow glue for long term strength and just enough CA glue for initial adhesion. the accelerator spray makes the bond instant. Also, there are at least 3 different thicknesses (viscosity) of CA glues available. Generally the thicker glues are better for non--clamping applications. I use the thinner CA glues for gap filing and lighter applications. Also, I have black and brown CA glues for filling wood cracks/blemishes. You can buy all of the different CA glues in larger quantities (4-6 oz) than the typical"super glues" available in most stores. Starbond is a very good brand/source of many CA glues and they are also available from Woodcraft . Travel often and safe Vann |

Vann, I assume you apply the two different glues side by side so that they don't actually mix. Is that correct?

Thanks for the advice from your experience. Never thought of combining both CA and yellow glue together. Will try that on my next project, thanks!

I am an avid active woodworker and a retired residential contractor. I have used lots of glues and many different application methods. In my experience, Jato and Lostagain both have good responses about glues and clamping.Using small nails to hold until he glue dries is a great method as is clamping if possible. There are also several construction glues in caulk sized tubes that offer "instant bonding" that can be used. CA glues are valuable as well. One method that I have used successfully is to combine traditional yellow wood glue and CA glue when clamping is not an option. I apply both glues-- the traditional yellow glue for the long term bonding and apply CA glue (with accelerator on the base part) as the temporary method of holding the piece in place until the yellow glue cures. That is instant bonding without clamping(CA glue) and offers long term strength (yellow glue). Travel safe and often Vann

Go to a local small hardware store and ask which glue they sell that would be best for that application. Personally, if it's real wood being attached to real wood, I'd use the yellow wood glue, such as Gorilla Wood Glue, and apply pressure on it, as mentioned above, until it dries. The construction glue that I mentioned would also work great, but it's messy to use and has to be cleaned up with denatured alcohol. I'll be applying more of that today to finish off the kitchen cabinets I've been installing. I'll use a pneumatic pin nailer to hold the cabinet toe space covers and corner trim in place while the glue sets.

jato, is this a CA glue or some other Gorilla product? My experience with CA glues is that they make a strong bond with tensile strength, but if the two pieces get a sideways impact or stress they separate relatively easily.

The table repaired above weighs a good 50 kg or 110 lbs. Amazing that it took about 8-9 drops for a surface that measured 2" wide by 5" long. Even with that small amount there was a small amount of clean-up immediately after clamping as the glue turned white and needed to be removed. Left the clamp on for 1 hour, hit the repaired area fairly well with a rubber mallet; it made a strong bond!
