I can see that a high tooth count to cut a hardwood would cause that issue. I noticed even with regular old wood glue that a 36 tooth blade did a MUCH better job overall than a 60 tooth or higher blade did. I had a custom staircase to trim out, and I was having problems with adhesion, burning, etc. once I put a "rough cut" blade in my saw, everything worked out so much nicer. That's when I learned that a "finish" blade is a relative term. It's what the wood wants, not what the worker wants.

Had a miserable experience with HiPur on pine 3 1/2 inch door casing. Followed exactly like Spencer says. Used the 60 second set time adhesive. Dry fit the joint with half pressure with clam clamps. Applied the HiPur at 350 degrees per the glue gun. When I made up the joint with HiPur it set up so fast that when clamping it together I could not get a tight joint. The joint would not close due to the hardened HiPur. Plus is was very weak. I then used CA glue with accelerator and it worked great. Much stronger and tighter joint. Threw the HiPur gun and glue in the trash and will stick to CA glue. I did buy the glue from Amazon so perhaps it was a glue quality problem but I’ll never find out as CA with accelerator is so much easier.

Thanks for putting this video out. For MDF I always use CA glue with the activator and have great results but for clay-coated pine or finger joint pine the CA glue is too brittle so when I saw HiPur I thought it was gonna work just like CA glue with cancer board. The first time I used it in clay coat pine the joints just fell apart when I moved them even after letting them cure for 5-10 mins so I thought I got a bad tube and ordered another one. Nope same problem so I tossed the Hipur gun in the garage never to be seen again. The only thing I was doing different was the wood species and I was using pinch dogs not clam clamps

They will hold well when you have a larger mass of wood such as a handrail. But I also heavily score both sides with a utility knife. Gives more for the glue to grab into and also channels for the glue to go. The scoring will allow for a tighter joint.

I recently had a job with a tight timeline, and I couldn’t wait for glue and biscuits to completely dry and then sand the joint. I gave hipur another try and really focused on dialing in the system. It worked great and will be my new standard going forward. I also found that if you start with the heel of the miter touching and let the clamp pull the toe together it really compresses everything better and gives a smaller glue line. Pre finished stain grade will still be biscuits tho because I can get a zero glue line joint.

Spencer, I just did a small trim job using brand new 30 and 60 second HIPUR, ensuring that it heated up for at least 30 minutes prior to use, verified that it came out totally clear, and yet none of the joints even began to hold. It was as if I had put plain candle wax between them. I tried it on pine, Poplar and MDF. Same results for all three. I used my genuine Cam clamps to pull the joints together, let stand for 30 minutes, and not a single joint even thought of holding. I then flat sanded the mating surfaces with 100-grit to provide a "tooth" and still I got zilch. Very frustrating. Finally, I resorted to CA gel glue, Cam clamps, and then spray activator, and completed the job with perfectly closed joints that held like a pit bull. I have no idea what's going on as I have used HIPUR successfully in the past. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After my HIPUR glue shipment was delayed, I’ve started glue my miters with regular hot glue gun (Ryobi 18W), and successfully finished whole 8-stories building like that, even tho I’ve got my HIPUR soon. Advantages of hot glue sticks: it’s CHEAP! and you can buy it at the Home Depot; it heats up really fast, and with Ryobi gun it heats up to really high temperature and thin viscosity, which gives opportunity to make very tight joints; it cools down really fast too, 10-15 seconds; using cordless gun is very convenient too. The only slight disadvantage of hot glue sticks, that it doesn’t create such a strong bond as PUR. But for about 1000 trims I’ve got very few unintended breakages, and in some cases to have ability to break joint for reassembling is even necessary. Obviously, you need to use miter clamps. But from my experience I will never again spend $15 for 1 tube of PUR, when I can buy 24 pcs 10” sticks for $5.96 😅

I don't have any experience using this glue gun or this specific glue, but i do have years of experience with PUR glues. I own a finger jointing plant and we buy PUR in 1000kg (1 ton) bags about 10 at a time. The glue generally has a shelf life of 1 year after date of manufacture. After that is seems to thicken and go like jelly. Becomes a nightmare when it goes through the pumps and applicator heads. It's available in multiple set times, we use 3 minute. Moisture in the timber and air set it off. The more there are of either the faster it goes off. Sometimes too fast if there's a stoppage. 95% of what i do is radiata pine, and it bonds extremely well, so i don't know why so many are having issues joining pine trim? Can only assume it has something to do with the fit of the joint or the speed at which it is assembled maybe? If it's already foaming up and you're trying to clamp it together it's all over red rover.
@marchinarmsmetal25032 жыл бұрын
Spencer, you should try warming up the mating surfaces with a heat gun first if you have problematic material or a joint that has held together by hand. It keeps the glue at a runny viscosity for longer so you have more time to twist and work the adhesive deep into the pores of the wood. Also gives you more work time and a tighter glue line for when clamps are not an option.

I tried this gun out for a few years and gave up, but only for my specific use case. I found it’s really material dependant. Like for the poplar or MDF style trim you’re using here it has great strength, but far less strength on smooth hardwoods like maple or oak. I also noticed that because it’s so thick, it can be hard to really clamp the pieces together tight enough. But this admittedly is only because all the materials I work with are prefinished, and there’s no painter coming behind me to fill and finish, so I can’t use any clamps. But I really do think for your use case that the HiPur really is as good or better then 2P-10.

This is so timely because I did buy the gun and the glue (2 tubes off amazon, then two tubes direct from Infinity Bond) and had no luck getting it to work on pine and was about to message you asking for help. I tested the joints after setting them with the woodriver clamps and while the joint held it broke apart in my hands after 1min of set time. I was expecting more strength. I tried one joint waiting over night and it was still weaker than pva glue. I ended up on one job using the clamps with ca glue plus woodglue which worked pretty well so I was convinced of the method but not the HIPUR. I just tried it again on poplar/oak handrail using your method exactly and it held up well enough to screw the rails down. I'll have to look at the things you mentioned, the resin in the pine and having a high tooth count with too fine of a surface make sense and either could be my issue. I'll try on some poplar. How long would you say to cure on an average humidity summer week to get that kind of strength you demonstrate? Overnight or a full week? I love the concept and prefer the one glue gun to using two glues so I really want to get this to work.

It cures out kind of like a curve on a graph. Lets say you have 30% strength after 5 min. 50% after 30 min. 75% after 6 hours. Full cure after 3 days.

Question, will the squeeze out make it stick to the fab table? If so what is the solution to keep it from happening?

We normally don't have a problem, but when I have a concern I throw down some wax paper from my kitchen drawers

I simply wiggle the piece a bit after I clamp. This breaks the bond and its not an issue. You don't want to let it sit long enough without shifting it that it can bond well.

Use CA glue and an activator this is too much extra investment.

You need to compare this hiper glue to Titebond and do a break test. I was always taught the the glue is stronger than the wood. But you demo broke right at the glue line and to ill effects to the wood. It still may be stronger than Titebond, but only a side by side demo will prove it.

Pretty sure he did do side by side comparison in a previous Hiper Video where smashed both on the ground.

end grain glued joints break at the glue most of the time, including Titebond 2&3

I have done extensive testing in past videos. On a poplar 1x4 miter the hipur is stronger for me than TB & biscuit.

Ever since your first video I've been trying to make it work. Most of my work is prefinished hardwood. I'm using an FS Tool XL 4000 blade, I think it's a 100 tooth. And yes I'm using clam clamps. I'm pretty sure my glue was good and fresh. First time I tried it was on pine. Total failure! Ok, probably the sappy pine. Next time was on 5/8"x2-1/2" Colonial profile prefinished oak. Still very little strength, and the glue line was plenty wide for prefinished work even when I tried to work fast. And that's using clam clamps! I've messed around with it a few more times but haven't had any luck. I think my cuts might be too polished and barely enough mass with the smaller profiles. Does anybody put pocket hole screws in the back of mitered casing? I've done it a little and it works decent, just very time consuming! Thanks for all your teaching Spencer! I don't see how you get it all done!

With those material choices I'd probably opt for biscuits and wood glue and use a decent amount of clam clamps in rotation.

I stopped using mine also. I was using clam clamps, but all the trim I install is pre finished. I found that the glue was getting all over the finish, and ruining it. The few tubes I used did not just flake off like you had just shown. Also I purchased off of Amazon so it was probably bad tubes.

It's not ideal for prefinished material. That's for sure.

Now if your doing picture frames preassembled what do you do when the jamb is out of square and it throws off your reveals I doubt your making those adjustments at the door or window before you assemble it I can see door casing preassembled it’s more forgiving to get your reveals right
@InsiderCarpentry2 жыл бұрын
It's very easy to bend and push it around to get proper reveals. Not an issue at all. That's the advantage, its strong enough that you can stress the joints a lot in order to do so. You get speed of assembly, strength, and speed of installation.

Very well done vid Spencer. Appreciate the tips and tricks you’ve learned over the years after converting over to PUR glue. Agree w/ you that PUR is a well kept secret, when comes to trim work; as I know used to always use CA glue exclusively till learned and tried PUR, and there’s a difference. Still use CA, but it’s all based on what doing, like any job. Thanks again for your tips/tricks w/ working with this PUR adhesive. Cheers✌🏻

Great video as always Spencer! Given the info here and watching your other videos on HIPUR, what would be the best glue for the 2 1/4" pine door casing? I understand the concern with the tensile strength when using CA glue, but given that the casing is only 2 1/4" and the issues that HIPUR sometimes has with this type of casing, is CA glue a better option for this application? I realize that I could use Titebond, but the faster cure times are not there with the standard Titebond glue. I did do a cut and blade check and the glazing is not present. Thanks for all of the informative information you provide!
@InsiderCarpentry Жыл бұрын
I don't recommend hipur for 2-1/4 pine casing. It doesn't hold well. CA glue would work ok but you'd have to be careful not to stress the joint and break it. Regular wood glue is idea. Might be a good option to put a screw through the top or bottom. Bottom line. 2-1/4 casing is tough...

@@InsiderCarpentry Thanks! I am going to do some test fits with the CA and Titebond speed set and see what happens. If the results are not good then regular Titebond it is. Appreciate you.
