2008-10-12 Thread Russ Kendall
Hi everyone, I've searched the archives on the topic of roughing up/preping joints prior to glueing with T-88. I recieved some input that this practice was not recommended. I used resin bond sandpaper to roughen the joints. Any new feelings on this? I glued up a couple of test joints, and pos

I don't think you will find technical data from glue manufacturers that recommends "roughing up" a surface to be glued. A smooth freshly planed or sawn surface is best. Roughing increases the thickness of the glue line and that is generally not a good idea. Lightly scuffing plywood with sandp
