Re: Polyurethane Glue?
I've used this particular stuff with some success. I think in many cases
you don't need the screws after it sets. If you do keep the screws, make
sure they are stuff that won't rust. I wouldn't use it for a boat that's
kept in the water, I guess. Have had it on the gunwhales of a boat
that's been kept outside for a year or so with no trouble so far. I
suspect that different polyurethane glues are somewhat different from
each other. My impression is that this stuff would have no strength when
filling gaps, so joints would have to be tight.

Yes put screws in and leave them in. When the glue in a joint holds
and the wood fails it seems to be the wood next to the glue. The
screws go deep into the wood for additional holding. A belt and
suspenders approach which is a great idea.

I just bought some Elmers ProBond Polyurethane Glue and have a few
question about polyurethane glues. The first question is this, it
states on the bottle of glue that it is waterproof, but then it say
not for use below water immersion. Whats up with this? Second should I
also put some screw in the frame gussets?

question about polyurethane glues. The first question is this, it
states on the bottle of glue that it is waterproof, but then it say
not for use below water immersion. Whats up with this? Second should I
also put some screw in the frame gussets?
