Eric. Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes, the colder it is the slower glue dries. But you should be safe with an hour in all but the coldest of temps. "Safe" to take it out of clamps...I wouldn't go banging it around for a few hours at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited a couple hours because they were going thru the drum sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching glue dry, is the perfect time for a beer or 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does mixing the end grain with not end grain on the checkerboards effect anything with the wood movement? It wont pull away will it? I made a chessboard in high school that has face grain squares with a surround and it has held up fine. Not quite the same thing but it does defy the wood movement gods a bit. It's also sealed with a lot of sanding sealer (oak and walnut) and then an automotive clear over that. (car guys working the wood oh yeah) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
