Whats a good resouce / book on how to properly glue up projects; type of glue, how much, how tight to clamp, drying times, etc.



thanks Craig Orput Cave Creek, AZ


Pops asks:

Read the bottle. Do what it tells you. Most projects need light to medium clamping pressure. Use medium pressure unless you specifically know the glue or the project shape requires heavy or light pressure. Light pressure needs are usually obvious: the project itelf is lightweight.
