Carpenter glue?

[Queso]

I ran out of thick CA yesterday, so I used a copious amount of Elmers wood glue in the tubes. It held together fine on the mandrel, and the gap filling was, obviously, exceptional. Is there anything about using this kind of glue that should prevent me from doing it in the future?

I wouldn't try to finish a pen with it.

I use it for gluing segmented blanks all the time. I would be a little concerned about how it will adhere to brass for the long haul.

I went on the Titebond site to check this out. I have never used the yellow glue to bond nonporous materials. They talked about two nonporous materials together, yellow glue sets by drying. The glue would not dry between two nonporous materials. I called there tech line to see about 1 porous to 1 nonporous. "Don't do it" was the answer. There may be a light bond just because the glue film dried, but there will not be any strength.

Interesting thought though.

Yellow carpenter's glue is just what it is...wood glue. It will not bond properly with brass. I would never use it for gluing in tubes.

I would ditto the - never use for brass tubes - wood to wood only.

Wood glue will not bond brass to wood over the long haul.

How about Gorilla Glue?
