I have some smaller pieces of scrap (aromatic) cedar that I'd like toglue up to make planks large enough for cooking fish on the grill. Theway I typically use these planks is to line the bottom of the plankwith foil, place the planked fish on the second level over medium heatof a gas grill (@ 350-400=BA inside the hood) for around 20 min. Theplank never chars, but can discolor from the heat on the bottom. Theplanks are reusable for about 20 trips to the grill or so.Can thoroughly cured glue contaminate the fish in any way? I wasthinking of using polyurethane, just because I have some left over, butotherwise Titebond II.Glue Chemists encouraged to reply.Thanks,H

thinking of using polyurethane, just because I have some left over, butotherwise Titebond II.You should not see any contamination as it is inert and non toxic when cured, but I don't know if the glues are good for the heat they will see.

Is glue safe for cedar plank on the BBQ?

Yup! I've been wondering if saliva plays a role...

Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I could have gone the rest of my life without that mental picture. :-( [Bleah!]

OK, guilty as charged for assuming the hyperbole would be recognized. "Virtually any," or "most," how's that?

Underhill's guest, now that's funny: what happened? did Underhill make fun of him or admire his boldness and ask for a bowl of soup?
