FWIW - The better two glue surfaces mate, the better glue joint you will get with Titebond. When wood has splintered apart, even if there is no old glue residue, it is often difficult to get the splintered surfaces back together perfectly. That is why I prefer a thickened epoxy adhesive with good wetting properties - any gaps are no problem. Some may argue that is overkill. Perhaps a valid point. A few good through-bolts going through backposts likely are all you need anyway. It just makes me sleep better. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- OOOPS-I forget to mention glue! This one was clean . Nice raw wood surfaces with no glue residue , so on principle I vacuumed out the opening and used titebond spread with a soundboard steel just before the gap was closed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
