wtnhighlander Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 What's the consensus on appropriate glue to use for laminating two pieces of MDF together? Standard PVA? Something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 When I did my bench top, I laminated 3 sections of mdf together using titebond 1. Worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks, Pug. Wife wants some letter cutouts, thicker than a single sheet. These will be painted, so why waste real wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denette Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I made a router table from mdf and titebond 2, no problems here. Just took a load of glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbutcher74 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 +1 on the Titebond. When I built the top for my router table I threw in a few screws from the bottom for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Done with Titebond 2 and gorilla wood glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I used Titebond 3 on my workbench. I bought a gallon of it and just poured it out then used a roller. Also, benchtop drill press went on to help "clamp" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxorion Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 +1 on any PVA glue. I used Titebond 3 and screws to laminate my workbench top (3 layers of MDF) Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ok, so here is the end result. Not exactly worthy of a project journal. Glued and clamped: Sawn and sanded: The cheese board actually does have a journal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Did you use a pattern for the letter and cut it with the bs? Nice looking edges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weithman5 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 plain elmers white glue is a little cheaper would work just as well probably. little longer set up time though that is a great "W" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Did you use a pattern for the letter and cut it with the bs? Nice looking edges! Yes, a paper pattern and spray adhesive, cut freehand on my little 10" bandsaw. Surprised me how well it came out, but having no grain to contend with really made controlling the cut a lot easier.
