If you want a strong and quick joint glue the middle with wood glue and just a dot of CA at either end. The CA will act as a clamp wile the wood glue dries

It works great. I am using a 30 minute planner ready CA glue. Its made to replace wood glue. It's hard to find but it's good stuff. I use both titebond and the 30 minute CA glue and get the best of both worlds. Fast and strong. Here is a example of it being used. Making A Hammer/Mallet using DAP Rapid Fuse Wood Adhesive - KZbin

CA glue is great for quick positive attachment of trims and moldings, particularly in hard to reach places. Once in place, trims are not generally subjected to many stresses. Other wood working projects, such as cabinets and drawers are subject to various stresses and vibrations so a much stronger bond is required. For these applications, wood glues will almost always outperform CA glues and clamping pressure increases the penetration of wood glues. The other obvious factor is cost. I use CA glues very sparingly because of their high cost. Sometimes use a few dabs of CA glue in combination with wood glue for accurate positioning before clamping. A $25 gallon of Titebond II wood glue will glue up hundreds of times more board feet of wood than $25 worth of CA glue.

I've used CA glue for a few years. I do a ton of trim work and this has been the best thing since sliced bread. The true value of the ca glue is being able to meet your seems perfectly before you install them. This allows you to wrap corners before hand and get perfect corners.

You can put wood glue on most of the joint for long term hold, and a bit of CA glue on the left over part of the joint for a quick short term grab. This technique works with other materials and glues too.

Hey Ben I have a couple tips for the CA glue. Keep some acetone on hand to clean up excess and remove it from your fingers. You dont HAVE to use the accelerator if you have more a few minutes to let the CA glue dry it will have more time to soak in more. And baking soda will also kick off the CA glue. I really enjoy the videos you do testing and comparing different methods!
@tay13666
@tay13666 5 жыл бұрын
Keep in mind though, that baking soda will make the glue even harder, so you really don't want any excess dripping out. Not sure about up north, but here in the states, the easiest and most convenient way to get acetone is to just buy nail polish remover. Just make sure it is the smelly stuff, because that has the acetone in it.

My other favorite use for CA glue is DIY double stick tape for work holding. Lay down a strip of painter's tape on the work surface, spoil board, etc.. Apply a thin bead of CA glue. Then apply a strip of painter's tape to the work piece where it'll mate with the strip of tape and CA glue on the work surface. Press the two together...und voilà! Cleanly remove by prying the work piece off the work surface, then peeling the painter's tape from either or both faces. Effective. Convenient. Affordable.

Ben, because we can't gauge how much force you are actually physically applying to break these joints, in the future if you used a hunting/fishing type scale and screwed these to a wall stud, you could incrementally hang weight on them until the joint broke to get a relatively scientific result.

Part of the problem you are having with the CA is the application. By applying the accelerator to one piece BEFORE you glue the joint, you are allowing the CA to cure upon contact when you do close the joint. It does not have an opportunity to soak in. Apply the glue, close the joint, and hit each side with the accelerator. You will still have to hold the joint closed while it cures regardless. There are a few extra benefits of doing things this way: 1. You have a little working time. You can reposition or slide the pieces before they cure. 2. Too much accelerator will generate heat in the glue joint (it can burn your skin if you touch it!) and make the joint more brittle. Try this out if you have a chance. Your mileage may vary. And one last thing - love the videos. Super informative, even more entertaining. Keep it up!

CA glue is much stronger without the activator. The activator speeds up the curing from a minute or two down to a few seconds, howbeit, compromising the bond. The manufacturers trade on consumer ignorance. Subsequently they sell 2 produces (Glue and activator) to increase their profits. So unless saving a minute is critical, save your money and just buy CA glue and use as a stand alone glue, allowing the glue to reach it's maximum strength. Great Video/s, I've learnt over the years by Vancouver Carpenter. Personally I always use wood glue on wood.

Not sure if the brand you use is different but the CA glues I’ve seen people use apply glue first and then spray the activator- I guess theory being that an aerosol spray evaporates quickly so you want it to spray and stick the two together, whereas you spray and leave it as you glue up, so the amount of activator might be jeopardizing the strength

At least on furniture, I worked for a guy who would have me mix up a sizing of yellow glue and water (for end grain to end grain) and brush it on to the edges of the board before applying the glue and clamping. Truth is end gain sucks up a lot of glue. The sizing got absorbed by the capillaries so the glue didn't. I never tested it though. Just a thought.

CA glue (superglue, secondenlijm etc, depending on the region) tends to leave white frosty crystals around the joined area that is more noticeable on smooth plastic. I think it's some vapour reacting with the humidity in the air and solidifying that often you see your own fingerprint permanently visible on the surface next to the glued area. It's a nightmare for model builders or whoever who require precise, clean finish without such a mess.

Nice video! I like to put a couple thick lines of wood glue on each side, with a little bit of CA glue on each corner and the middle, so the joint looks like this: .__.__. I find the CA glue does an initial set pretty quick, and I still get most of the long-term strength of the wood glue.

From experience, if you forget about the activator and just saturate both ends of the MDF or wood you will have a bond that will not break! The material will rip apart from the glued joint. As far as the impact on the environment, don't worry about little things like that. Nothing anyone does is going to change the final outcome.

Almost every casing (we call them architraves in the UK) in my house has cracked at the mitre joint. They're all real wood (pine probably) not mdf. I got so annoyed by this that when I installed some new ones in my bathroom I routed out the back of them and put perforated metal brackets in them. I used epoxy glue to stick the mitres together and to stick the brackets to the wood. The mitres haven't cracked. It's a lot of work but if it's on your own house, it's worth it.

Most early 20th century wood projects used anything from bone glues to your typical wood glue BUT if you look at the ie furniture of then you will see they used triangular wood blocks to add extra strength and sometimes even those blocks had screws in them. We're not talking mortice and tenon or overlap here but basic end to end woodworking. You could find over time that those blocks could come unglued but several understandable reasons for this including the switch to central heating where homes got warmer ?! It's quite an interesting subject overall re glues or adhesives. The first time I came across Cyanoalate adhesive was in the late 70s when used in washing machines for sealing purposes and obviously due to its high temperature co efficient working bond it did pretty well for fast repairs etc Then it was mega expensive! Great vid ! Stay safe! 👀👍

A couple of things; the real strength of CA is that it's almost instant when used with hardener, so in most cases there's no need to wait for it to set. Secondly, how strong does a joint need to be? Of course that depends on the application, but for most of my uses it's plenty strong enough for nearly anything.

If done properly and compressed at the joint until cured the fracture become stronger than the wood around it.. furthermore it's water based & you can make a perfect bead if u 'know how' 😎🚬 Annnnd... if u mix it with wood dust you can make a perfect paintable and /or stainable filler

First time watching your Channel, it was under the recommended section -- found it very entertaining. using glues on furniture trims and cupboards is useful, but on trim around doors, windows or on Baseboards is unheard of in my experience because if you ever have to work on the doors and windows you would break them and have to purchase new ones and why would you ever use glue on baseboards unless your walls aren't square and you are trying to hind your mistakes -- it's so sad that it has come to the point where we have to use pressed paper (MDF) and try to pass it off as wood -- good luck to anyone ever wanting to renovate a house if it has been glued together. ca glue is for folks who are in a hurry and wood glue is for woodworkers who have time. Wood glue is always stronger than the the wood it is holding together (can't say for pressed paper Ive never used it to build anything

you're doing mdf a disservice. it is *not* pressed paper - the processes for making mdf and wood based paper are very different. mdf is incredibly useful mainly due to its dimensional stability, overall flexibility and convenience. it is also a very attractive material in its own right when used well. of course it has its pros and cons, as do all materials. as for bad workmanship - that applies regardless of the materials being used, it's not the fault of the material if something is poorly executed.

Appreciate your thoughts, though I think you are missing out on a perfectly good and inexpensive building product in mdf, not to mention its environmental advantages. But a basic assumption I disagree with in your post is that walls not being square is ‘your own mistake’. 1st- Often simply not the case because many (most) of us work on existing homes. 2nd- drywall finishing creates less or more than 90 degree corners. Watch a few of his videos on drywall finishing. The skill/art is to make it look flat/square while knowing it can’t be. 3rd- most pros don’t build removable for future problems as it’s too rare to justify just to save a few dollars for a replacement trim board, likely a minor cost in a repair. Anyway, once it’s filled, caulked, and painted in place, that bit of glue in the corners wouldn’t be the trickiest part of removal.

And then you can use it to separate your fingers when you glue them together. It seems strange it will set the glue and also dissolve it, but accelerator is acetone.

Doesn't CA glue tend to absorb into the wood?

I wonder if the fact that you glued up in cold temp made a difference. whereas you probably did NOT do that with the final MDF and Titebond... which you might have done indoors.

But the thing is, all of these joints/uses are non-load bearing. You put them in place and you nail them in and it's never touched again. I don't know that ton of strength is necessary? The test was interesting of course, but practically speaking I don't see why CA isn't more than enough for baseboards and moldings. But I did enjoy the testing.

Thanks for making this point. I do a ton of renovation work, and all the trims I pull off on old houses are done with no glue at all. Not even on the mitres. Just big old hand nailed jolt heads and paint holding it together. I think that I will start using CA on some mitres, because it will allow perfect mitres every time. Nobody in my country is using CA glue for trim work, and I've never seen a carpenter using an 18 or 23 gauge nailer either. Over here trim is slapped on with 16 gauge brad nails, and you are lucky if they bother to glue the mitres at all. If the joins don't meet up the attitude is that the painters will fix it. The drywall and underlying carpentry work is often very uneven and it's impossible to get mitres to sit right relying on the walls, door jambs and window jambs. I'm seeing all these North American carpentry KZbinrs using CA, and to me it looks like it would give me results that no carpenter in my country is getting. I don't care if the joint isn't strong, I glue my trims to the walls and jambs with PVA anyway. The CA only has to hold until the PVA sets and it's not going anywhere.

We got to see his karate skills. Haha love the video. I got to try the ca glue. So far, it's awesome for small projects. I couldn't break the ones I had with CA glue, so I was happy with the results. Haha

I don't know how long the joints were in the outside, but wood glue does not cure properly when cold.

Having a 120-year-old house, the problem I see is dismantling the frames of stuff without breaking apart the wood itself. You can't preserve the integrity of the actual house by mish-mashing together old and new woods.

You didn't mention the price of the CA glue vs WG. We know that wood glue is dirt cheap, how do they compare?

Great video and very interesting. I too use CA glues on some baseboards. Once it is in place I don't believe the joint is under any real stress so I will continue to use it on occasion. Really liked the demonstration though. Thanks

What are the odds. I was doing something similar earlier this week. Testing whether the benefits of CA glue were worth switching for.

@@917Stefano while my testing is not complete yet. I had some joints fail prematurely on me. I will add more glue to next bunch.I WANT to remain impartial, but I'm having a hard time doing so. For me its easier to apply wood glue then CA. One bottle one application as it were. But I do see the benefit of have a quick acting glue. Also storage of the CA glue can be a pain as well, since it likes to hard by its self in the bottle. All that said I'm still torn between the two. Maybe just have to keep both and use the one I feel is best. It is subjective after all.
