MADMAX22 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 Weldwood is alright and usually works pretty good. I finally tried some Masters and will get some more again when I can. It is a little thicker then weldwood but provided a great bond and I didnt have the occasional inconsistent results like I did with weldwood. Gonna have to try some of the others listed here. I dont mind paying a little more and ordering it (have to order everything else anyways) if the performance is there and repeatable every time. Nothing worse then doing a project that took several hours to make and possibly worth some decent money and have the seams look bad because the cement wasnt holding. Quote

You might be right about the "freezing" on the Barge's I did have it in storage in Canada for a while. I think that can is a goner. I just performed a burnishing test with the Weldwood and it burnished fine, and has nice flexibility. But it does peel apart with very little effort. I let it set up for a good 20-30 minutes, seemed dry to the touch. I then clamped it for a couple hours, then beveled and burnished, Looks good. Still concerned about it seperating. Wondering if the high humidity and heat here right now is warrenting a longer dry time? Thanks again for your thinning tip. I do love the consistency of the Weldwood, easy to work with! I use contact cement from any hardware store, the secrete is to let it dry, up to 1 hr , after a dry time of up to an hr, you cant pull it apart. if using in a humid place, let it dry longer. Quote
