Review

If you work with wood then this glue is a must have in the workshop.

The statement that "bonds stronger than wood" is true and I can vouch for this on a number of occasions.

It is worth following the instructions and applying pressure to the joint for 30 to 60 minutes and if you intend machining the part or a high force is to be applied then best to leave the part for 24 hours to get to maximum strength.

That said I have applied pressure and kept the part warm near to a heater and after just 1 hour the part is strong enough to be turned in a lathe.

Price: approx £5 for 237ml

Conclusion

This really does do what it says on the tin. If you do any wood turning then this is brilliant as it does not go rubbery like PVA and forms a much stronger joint.

I bought mine from Alscot Timber - great showroom to drop in and see the tools before you buy and unusually have first hand experience of using most of the machines and so able to give advice.
