Question (1) From, Mr R Sutherland, Inverness, Scotland. What type of glue is best suited for making laminated bowls, and also for making laminated tops for tables, furniture etc. ———————————————————————— Answer (1) The type of glue we use for this needs to be one where movement after completion is practically non existent, or at least kept to an absolute minimum. For this we recommend Extramite or Resintite, Both are mineral glues that are simply mixed with water to a smooth paste. Extramite has a slightly longer working period, (by that I mean the time it stays active whilst applying, before it starts to set). This is useful when you have multiple assemblies to do at the same time. Resintite also works well, but with a shorter working time, so use this when fewer joints are being glued. What about P.V.A. I hear you ask? (Poly Vinyl Adhesive) by it’s mere description Poly Vinyl, means it’s flexible, and can move after use, not a good thing in a laminated bowl or table top, however it’s very useful in all sorts of other joints, such as chair legs, table legs and all sorts of carcase joints where a little movement is less critical.
