Has anyone used Goop GLUE for gluing tubes in blanks ? If so please advise on how it works. I am allergic to CA glue. Thanks: Joe
I am convinced. That is my next big change. The first big change is leaving the cap off the Ca and not worrying about it drying in the bottle.I only use 5 minute epoxy. Haven't had a problem

I use Gorilla Glue. Working time is good but it takes a few hours before you can do any turning. I will say this, I have had less than 1 out of 100 pens come apart while turning. I haven't tried many other adhesives for gluing in the tubes but from the comments I read here, having a blank come apart isn't that uncommon.
I also like the fact that if the size of the hole is a little on the large size, Gorilla Glue just fills in the gaps without concern for loss of adhesion.
Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane adhesive so hopefully it wouldn't affect you the same way CA does.

I am new to turning,, had two blow-outs today, found out that my glue didn't evenly spread.. what techniques do you use to get an even spread on the Gorillia Glue ,,,, Or CA???
I could really use the help.
Rarely use CA on a tube, because I don't keep the slow stuff around and coverage issues. Too many blowouts on nice wood and it attacks the paint on plastics
It works. But, you have to make sure to tape the end of the blank so it won't come out and you have to let it sit for a day or two.Has anyone tried Titebond ll for gluing tubes to blanks? I glue ahead of time so letting them set for a week or so is no problem.
