DAP 00204 Weld Wood Plastic Resin Glue, 4.5 Lb, Pail, Tan, Powder

Ive used the Dap plastic resin glue to make bent lamination to make chair backs, or glueing several thin layers of wood and shaping in mold until cured. The Dap product works very well for indoor furniture. It will not survive exposure to wet outside. In a bent lamination, it has very little spring back and it cures very stiff. Its so hard that glue that oozes out a seam and cures can create sharp enough edges to cut yourself. See attached picture for some sharp edges. it must be mixed fairly precisely has a just a little bit of water makes a big difference in the consistency. Either to watery or to think. I apply the glue using a cheap chip brush and throw it away. There is no cleaning anything after it cures. Once cured it cuts and sands easily. There is little seam seen between laminations...its virtually invisible. See attached picture of a completed lamination. . I have decades old chairs using the bent lamination process with the Dap plastic resin glue and there is not a hint of any glue seams releasing. Its a mess to use so wear gloves and lots of protective tarps to keep the glue away from floor and table.

Love this stuff!Comes in a plastic container, easy to open and reseal closed. The "glue" comes in the form of a powder that you mix with water to apply. I've mixed thick and thin, with good results (although honestly I should be more careful to control my mixing portions).It dries hard, almost reminds me of fiberglass. Seems to work well for a variety of applications. I've used it on hoop lamination for fly fishing landing nets, and more recently rocking chair backrests and runner laminations. Spring back seems to be minimal. I normally use my drum sander whenever possible but it does seem to plane and sand well by hand also.One suggestion ... remember to reseal the container REALLY WELL because the powder will harden if left exposed to normal humidity.*Very* good experience overall.

I use this glue for bent laminating and bending wood as in this music stand’s legs. It’s easy to use, mixes up easily, has a long shelf life and is extremely stable. I use it for outdoor furniture as well

Works awesome!!! Your wood will break way before your glue joint ever does and completely water proof. We used to call this brown resin glue back in the day. Dries to a dark brown color and is awesome for filling in knot holes in wood and is much cheaper than all of your resins out there. Bucket goes along way. Mix as much as you need. Gives you more clamping time but your clamp time increases to 24 hours as for a solid joint.

I use this for gluing up bows made using bamboo, hickory, hard maple, walnut, cherry, osage orange, Brazilian cherry and ipe. At least 50 bows and only a couple of failures due to, I think, too much clamping pressure (I use strips cut from tire inner tubing to clamp bow assembly to a form). I did ad hoc testing against Titebond 3 and got stronger joints (glue on prepped ends of two pieces of ipe and bent joint using free ends after curing). Also, the open time is a bit longer in the summer (90+ degF.... don't allow sweat to drip onto glued surfaces ;-)Tips:Break down into multiple small, full mason jars for longer shelf life. I think my oldest is at least 3 years old and is still good.Always freshly sand surfaces to be glued. I hand sand with a wooden block and fresh 100 grit AO.Do a dry clamp-up first to help avoid exceeding the open and closed times!Degrease oily woods after sanding. I use acetone. Others say detergent/water works but I haven't tried it.Squeeze-outs are rock hard when dry.The stuff is tenacious- several drips on my smooth concrete floor are still there after at least a couple of years and are well polished from being tread upon!I use a wall paper seam roller to spread the glue. After use, put it into a container with soapy water before doing clamp-up to ease cleaning it.Heat speeds curing. I use a 100 degF hot box for about a day. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I start in a cold box and ramp up heat slowly.

I used this to build a cedar laminate circular garden gate. I used it exactly as the directions for the glue were stated. It worked perfectly.A few months later I built another laminated project, I didn't keep the shop temperature at 70 degrees or above and the glue was now nearly a year old. I believe I got away with it but it took over two months for the glue to set and I don't know about the strength.Bottom line, be careful about the date of the purchase, the working temperature, and throw away the glue after the expire date. I'd give it five stars except for the too large size of the purchase and the four month age when I received it.What I haven't said is the shelf life of one year and the difficulty of buying a tub that's not old when it arrives.

A great general purpose wood glue. We use it to glue in the mahogany wood bung caps on the hullsides of wooden boats during total restoration. Holds well but is not too strong in case the item needs to be removed at a future date, can be done without damaging adjacent wood. Finishes well, takes stain similar to adjacent woos and varnishes/paints up well. Water based formula is nice and being a powder it has a very long (indefinite) shelf life. We only mix up what we need on a job to job basis

I bought this glue to repair a bunch of old wooden chairs. I tried the best yellow glue I could find, and it wouldn’t make a solid joint. This weldwood glue dried very hard and has been holding the chairs together great. Mixing was simple, just added water very slowly while stirring. I had about 3 hours working time at 80 degrees. I would definitely recommend this glue for wooden furniture repair.

To build 6 bedroom cabinets, I covered a large number of poplar plywood panels with sapele and ash veneer. Long enough open time to do two panels at a time on both sides in a vacuum press. Coverage is not as stated on container; figure only about 32 square feet per pound of resin. I used up about 10 pound of powder for this project with very little waste.Follow mixing instructions carefully. Don't mix all the water and powder in one go; you will not get a good creamy mix.Good glue all around.

good price good servic. I make Greenland Kayak paddles from western red cedar and use plastic resin glue when laminating. Its fantastic and much less expensive from Amazon.

A great alternative for vacuum pressing

Parfait pour coller des laminages avec des courbes

Excellent
